Cashmere Middle School has a beautiful track and field open to the public during non-school hours…read more The distance one covers in four laps is provided by lane on a sign posted on the boundary fence. As a runner, this is a bit of a dream because I can run four laps in lane eight and know I ran 1.10 miles (distances are provided to 0.01 mile accuracy). In today's day and age where technology and electronics can be a bit glitchy, it is nice to have exact distances that are not open to fluctuations like a treadmill that miscounts distance. If one is super ambitious, they can even measure the distance(s) around the track by lane on their own, which is a fun exercise in measurement. The track and field has views of the middle school, high school, and some of the physical ridges nearby. Makes for lovely scenery while getting in some exercise. I suppose one downside could be the lack of shade around the track, this can be a big deal if it is a clear, sunny, and hot day in Cashmere.

As a graduate of Cle Elum Roslyn High School (c/o 2010), I feel the need to leave a review. Yes, I…read moreknow and understand that many changes can occur within a four year span, but why shouldn't I leave a constructive review? TEACHERS: Teachers can come and go, but you'll always have those instructors that have the ability to keep you on your toes in learning and teach in ways many others cannot. I encountered a couple of these teachers through this school district. My hats are off to those who make Cle Elum/Roslyn their home and work hard to educate the young men and women in the community. If I were to base my whole review on the teachers in the school district, I'd rate them 4 stars. ADMINISTRATION: As for the administration when I attended the school district, I would give them a two star rating. We did have a different principal back then, however, the district administration has remained. The people up in the admin office always tended to hold themselves above the teachers, and in my opinion, it was the teachers that made the difference in the community. They get 2 stars from me. SPORTS: Athletics at Cle Elum - Roslyn give the students an opportunity to do other things instead of getting into trouble. Baseball, softball, basketball, wrestling, volleyball, track and field, cross country, soccer, tennis, and football are all options to play. We've got some great coaches for how small of a school district we are. I would rate the athletics with a 4 star. FACILITIES: They just finished a revamp of the football field and "stadium"; it looks great. With that said, the high school is in dire need of a renovation. In 2007, the community voted on if a new high school should be built... It didn't pass and had a lower 50% approval rate. The community needs to realize that the young people who grow up in the area need to have a place of education where they are excited to come to. The facilities, at least in the high school, are in a 1 star condition. OVERALL OPPORTUNITY: In conclusion, the opportunities given in the Cle Elum - Roslyn school district can be rated at a 3 star. There are some clubs for students to join and there was Running Start being offered when I was attending. Not only the administration, but the Cle Elum/Roslyn community as well needs to come to terms with the fact that the more time and effort put into the young people's population, you'll see the drug use, crime rate and negative impacts decrease.

The water view and beautiful architecture are just amazing. We were in the stadium and the stairs killed us- these students must be in great shape! Lots of steps from street level down to the field.

Lots to do nearby- so much great food and wine. Excited to come to more events here someday!

If you've ever seen 10 Things I Hate About You, you'll instantly recognize this iconic high school!…read moreIf you haven't, I highly recommend watching this fun take on Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew. Stadium High School is a centerpiece of the film, with many scenes shot right on campus. Visiting in person felt like stepping onto a movie set! The drive from Seattle to Tacoma took about 45 minutes, and navigating the city was fairly simple. There's plenty of street parking around the school, but be mindful of your surroundings. I actually witnessed someone breaking into a car in broad daylight, so I opted to park around the corner on a busier street for peace of mind. The school itself is breathtaking--its grand, castle-like architecture makes for stunning photos. Around the side, you'll find the football field, which offers incredible views of the water and boats in the distance. The gates were open while people were exercising on the track, so we were able to walk right in. Just a heads-up: the stadium stairs are steep, and there's no alternate way back up, so take your time climbing! This spot is a must-visit for movie lovers, architecture admirers, or anyone looking to soak in a bit of cinematic history. Just remember--it's an active high school, so weekends are the best time to explore without disrupting students.

Are they on meds that need to be administered at school? Are they Neurodiverse (Dyslexic, Anxiety, ADHD, Autistic, Dyscalculia, etc.)? If you have answered yes to any of these questions, this school probably isn't for you. We really loved the school when the kid was younger. But, partway through the lower school, supports and amenities suddenly got a lot more scarce! The Middle School is even worse. Were the staff at fault? Usually not. Decisions were made and the kids that needed a bit of help paid the price. There isn't a school nurse. They have remodeled some of the specialist-type classrooms to convert them into classrooms. There has been quite a bit of staff leaving in the last 5 years. There isn't a real 9:1 kid to teacher ratio in practice, they use alternative accounting practices including counting staff members like the librarian (kids see the librarian for an hour or less per week while most teachers rush back to their rooms for preparation time leaving the librarian often alone with the kids). Teacher assistants in the lower school are not necessarily full time and are often pulled from class to cover teachers and things like playground duties. The administration is actively trying to add more students per class, and more classes overall, as all administrators are prone to do. In short, while it is a beautiful school, it isn't for everyone. Try not to be dazzled and ask the hard questions. See if this is right for your family. It is an expensive question to get wrong.

Plus it's a great school with some truly inspirational educators. We. Love. Hawthorne!
