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.

I feel that I received an education that appropriately prepared me for college. However, as a disabled woman, I feel that I experienced discrimination based on my diagnosis without regard to what I was capable of.

Overall, I had some good and bad experiences with Castle View High School. One way I feel they could improve their education would be switching to a more normalized form of mathematics instead of integrated math. This did not set me up well for college algebra once I got to college and I had to go into a lot of office hours and get additional help to understand the material. I would also say the hiring of faculty and administration could be better.

This is the worst school! Do not send your kids here! My daughter has never had any issues in school. We moved to Colorado the end of her 8th grade year and it has been horrible! We put another child through high school in Kansas and had a great experience. Wish we never moved!

What once was a great school.. my first couple of years were beneficial for growth and learning. The math department has some amazing teachers, but one stood out to me as truly not caring and truly was a bully. This school year has killed the spirits of students. Control. That describes all the curr...

I'm a current parent of a student in Castle View high school, wanted to share that we love the school and the block schedule format.
