Newcastle High School

Summary:

Newcastle High School is a public high school located in Newcastle, Oklahoma, serving 760 students in grades 9-12 with a diverse student population.

Newcastle High School has shown strong academic performance, ranking in the top 22% of Oklahoma high schools and receiving a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has particularly excelled in certain student subgroups, ranking 25th out of 129 Oklahoma high schools for Hispanic students and 56th out of 187 high schools for Native American students, both receiving 4-star ratings. However, the school's performance has fluctuated over the years, with rankings ranging from 35 to 177 and star ratings from 2 to 5. Compared to nearby schools, Newcastle High School generally performs better than Santa Fe S Pathways Mid Colleg and Dimensions Academy, but lags behind Norman North High School and Westmoore High School in terms of academic performance and test scores.

The relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Newcastle High School, at 30.92%, may be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance, as socioeconomic status is often correlated with educational outcomes. Overall, Newcastle High School appears to be a solid performer among Blanchard high schools, with particular strengths in certain student subgroups and academic areas, but the school's fluctuating performance over the years suggests that there may be room for improvement and further analysis to identify the underlying factors driving the school's academic outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
