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 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.

My experience at Castle High has overall been a good experience. I think my school has given me many opportunities to be involved with my school and make the most out of my education. The best part about my time here is being involved in school activities. The few bad experiences I have had with some teachers is the worst part. I would like to see improvement in some teachers way of teaching.

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...
