Summary

Newcastle High School is a public high school serving 795 students in grades 9-12 in Newcastle, Oklahoma, which is part of the Newcastle District. The school has shown a mixed academic performance, with strengths in English Language Arts but areas of concern in Mathematics and Science compared to the state average.

While Newcastle High School has maintained a relatively stable four-year graduation rate on par with the state, it has experienced higher chronic absenteeism rates, which can negatively impact student learning. The school has also seen an increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a growing population of students from lower-income families that may require additional support and resources.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as Mustang High School and Norman North High School, Newcastle High School generally performs on par or slightly below in academic test scores and graduation rates. However, the school has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a relatively more affluent student population compared to some of the neighboring schools.
