Elementary Schools in Newcastle

Summary:

The Newcastle school district in Oklahoma is home to two elementary schools: Newcastle Elementary School and Newcastle Early Childhood Center. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade, providing educational opportunities in the Newcastle community.

Newcastle Elementary School has shown improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 249th in 2023-2024 to 190th in 2024-2025, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperformed the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency for all grades in the 2024-2025 school year. However, the school's proficiency rates declined from the previous year, particularly in English Language Arts, which warrants further investigation.

Newcastle Early Childhood Center serves the younger grades of pre-kindergarten through 1st grade and was ranked 372 out of 957 Oklahoma elementary schools in the 2014-2015 school year, also with a 3-star rating. Both schools have a significant percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students. The operational metrics, such as student-teacher ratios and per-student spending, are similar between the two schools, indicating a consistent level of resource allocation across the district.
