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.

There are many class options for the diploma you choose. Our ban is wonderful and has over 200 students involved between those who instruments to those in color guard. Many students are in color guard and band. There are good options for AP classes and several options for Dual Credit classes as well.

The best part of the Castle High School are the sport and extra curricular events. There is never a lack in school spirit. The worst is probably the lack of college preparation.

It has been an amazing school. The teachers and staff are very considerate and always put our education and safety first. Parents are always involved and helping with different events in order to give the full experience. The administration has created a fun and safe environment for everyone. There are many different clubs and sports that aren't seen at many other schools. Everything is always very inclusive and the teachers are always here to help when we don't understand some things.

If they tried teaching things longer and making sure students know what they're doing before giving them 4-6 hours of homework I might have given them a 5 star rating. Also I think the girls at the school should be treated as if they are not pieces of meat because of the dress code that is supposed...
