GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The best parts in high school for me was the arts programs like Polynesian Dance and Music. These classes where where I had the best memories throughout high school.

Castle High School is an overall great school to attend aside from the typical troublemakers and 'old-fashion' teachers. I can only really speak for the Theater Arts pathways side of the school since that's where I spent most of my time. The environment there is such a home away from home, both the good and the bad. But everyone on campus is apart of one bigger community that supports each other.

Some things that I loved about Castle High School was all of the friendly staff, teachers, and students. For the most part, everyone got along with one another, which created a healthy working environment. I believe that what Castle strives for sets their morals, and values straight, which leads to College and Future ready students.

The comments below are outdated. This school has a lack of "good teachers." Out of the whole time attending castle, it is safe to say I only had one good teacher per grade level. The teachers do not care, and they do not tailor the way they teach to the students needs. For example, one of my teacher...
