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.

Castlewood is a good school for athletes. The school is very proud of their athletes but we also have a fantastic theatre department and theatre faculty.

I love that Castlewood is small. I get a lot of one-on-one help from the teachers, and I have made really great friends. In a small school, you get to know everybody in every grade. There are a variety of activities and classes for students with every interest, including NHS, chess club, band, choir, art, yearbook, sports, play, etc. If I had to do it all over again, I could still choose Castlewood. I have received a quality education, but I have also had fun and have made great friends along the way.

There are a variety of extracurricular activities and organizations including sports, chess, NHS, TEAMS, all-school play, one act play, band, choir, and yearbook. There is a lot of support for each activity. People that are involved usually show commitment. The activities are fun, and there is a lot of staff involvement as well.
