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.

Castle High School has been a very good fit for me and has allowed me to pursue a high level education through the many Dual Credit and AP classes they offer. They also offer many clubs and activities for students to be involved in and encourage every student to be involved in some way. I've been involved in Castle Show Choir which has been an amazing experience with a welcoming environment created by my peers. Throughout my years at this high school I have enjoyed the many fond memories and hope they continue to be a great school for the future graduating classes.

Being at Castle High School for four years was the best decision I have ever made due to the welcoming community and high level education. I believe this school has prepared me extremely well for the future and now I cannot wait to face my next adventure with the skills Castle High School has provided me with.

Castle High School is a good school. During my four years there I only had very minimal issues. One included being left by the bus but that was resolved. I had some issues with my extracurriculars as well but once again everything was figured out for the better. Castle High School has good academics and teachers who want the best for their students. Sometimes parents can get too heavily involved.

It is a great sports oriented school. It has many options for young athletes. The school is very diversified and you have children from all socioeconomic status. It is great that the well to do parents bring their children here too, it helps the less fortunate or unmotivated be exposed to their work...

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...
