CASCADE OPPORTUNITY CENTER

Cascade Opportunity Center is a public high school that is part of the Cascade SD 5 school district, located in Aumsville, OR with about 47 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 2 teachers, Cascade Opportunity Center has a student/teacher ratio of about 23:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The **Cascade Opportunity Center**, located in Aumsville, Oregon, serves as an alternative educational program under the umbrella of the Cascade School District. The center is designed to provide a flexible and supportive learning environment for students who may not thrive in a traditional comprehensive high school setting. By offering a smaller, more personalized atmosphere, the school focuses on helping students overcome academic or personal barriers to ensure they stay on track toward graduation and future success.

The curriculum and approach at the Opportunity Center prioritize credit recovery, individualized academic support, and social-emotional development. Through its partnership with the broader Cascade School District, the program provides students with the resources and guidance necessary to earn their high school diplomas while fostering a sense of community and accountability. It serves as a vital resource for students seeking a non-traditional path to achieving their educational goals within the local district.
