Newcastle

Summary:

The schools in Newcastle, Oklahoma consist of 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The data reveals a mixed picture of school performance, with standout results at the high school level and potential concerns at the middle school level.

Newcastle High School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, ranking 95th out of 439 Oklahoma high schools in 2022-2023 and earning a 4-star rating. The school boasts a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 82.2% and outperforms the state average in English Language Arts and Science proficiency for 11th grade students. In contrast, Newcastle Middle School has seen a declining trend in its statewide ranking and rating, accompanied by below-average test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students.

Newcastle Elementary School also performs well, ranking 190th out of 614 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2024-2025 and outperforming the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students. The district's focus on early childhood education, as evidenced by the inclusion of Newcastle Early Childhood Center, may contribute to the overall performance of the elementary schools. However, the high free/reduced lunch rates across all the schools in Newcastle, ranging from 37.23% to 43.82%, suggest the need for further investigation and targeted support to address equity and access issues.
