(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - The year I sent my child to this school it was a complete disappointment. My child had three long term substitute teachers due to the classroom teacher being out for medical reasons, and none of them were experienced in that grade level. As far as I can tell, there is very little differentiation happening for those students who are fortunate to be above grade level. They're forced to do work way below their capabilities and are bored quickly.

(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - New Castle Elementary School is a fantastic school where everything they (the staff) do is loving and understanding. I have never been to such a awesome school; it's clean, a warm environment, and is a perfect place for your children to go. It is a highly recommended place for kids to go.
