During my time at Castle High School, I've tended to stay within a small group of people so I don't have any glaringly bad experiences nor do I have many amazing experiences at the school. What I would imagine as my personal best experience at the school was getting an internship through the schools Work Based Learning program. While I don't have many bad experiences at the school, the worst was probably my first day at the school, and this was for the simple reason that I was a week late to starting school, and couldn't find my class in time for the morning bell.

I went there for high school. I really liked the presence of the school. The school is always so clean and well maintained. They are always ready for whhatever event they have going on at the time. I also really love that they have great employee and teachers . The teachers at castle high school always go above and beyond for theri students to help them stay on track for graduation. The hey always have events for students such as mock interviews to help students prep for the real word and prepare them for the work feild. Castle high school is a great school which a lot of people look down on . They try to do many activities with students to make it a fun environment for staff and students and make it so that the students love coming to school which I think in my perspective persuades the students to want to go to school and want them to succeed. I really loved going to castle high school as a student and I can't wait for my children to go there when the time comes.

The amount of clubs and classes they have to offer is nice but the school overall needs a lot of fixing. Your experience depends on what you do

I guess that I would say that this school taught my child how to overcome difficulties and still be successful. It also taught street smarts, because it is a jungle on campus.

My heart goes out to the student with negative comments below. My son had some challenges, but managed to make the best out of his placement at Castle. The vast majority of teachers bent over backwards to help their students. Parent involvement seems to make a difference with student success. The sc...

The comments below are outdated.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...
