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.

One of the many things I liked about Newcastle High School is how all the teachers care so much about the students and their learning experience. However, one thing I would like to change is some of the favoritism the teachers play with some students.

This school gives a wide range of opportunities ranging from FFA, FCCLA, and FBLA. The commitment from each of these clubs are at a high from students. Students have excelled in each of these making it to nationals and having individuals be a part of the council.

The teachers at this school vary. The quality of teachers is high. They are dedicated to their jobs and teaching. The teaching styles are very different. Some teachers are engaging and some teachers leave the students to the work they are assigned. Communication to students needs improvement, but overall the teachers at Newcastle High School are dedicated to the well- being of their students.
