Newcastle

The Newcastle school district in Oklahoma consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals a mix of performance, with Newcastle High School standing out as the top performer, ranking 134 out of 431 Oklahoma high schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

In contrast, Newcastle Elementary School and Newcastle Middle School have consistently underperformed, with 2-star ratings. While Newcastle Elementary outperformed the state average in 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments, the middle school struggled, with only 41%, 39%, and 45% of 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts.

Across the district, socioeconomic factors appear to play a role, with high percentages of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 36.73% at Newcastle Middle School to 43.82% at Newcastle Early Childhood Center. The variation in spending per student and student-teacher ratios suggests the need for more equitable resource allocation to support student success throughout the district.
