I love, love, LOVE it here! HI! I'm Mandy and I moved here the summer of 2010 from Washington State it's really good here! I'm not used to living in a small town but it's a lot better than my old school there's barly any drama and no bullying! I would reccomend this school if your child is having issues in school because the teachers will help you and the kids there are all so nice! On my second day there I already had a lot of friends! I feel comfterble in Newcastle!!

Newcastles a great school! Hi, Im Justice. I am an 8th grade student there. I Moved here about a year ago in te middle of 7th grade. When i moved here, i had terrible grades. The teachers didn't quite catch my attention at my old school. But, when i started going here, my parents saw a huge improvment in my grades. These teachers are amazing and extremly nice. They welcome from wherever you come from. This school gets all 5 stars if you ask me!

I go to Newcastle Middle School myself, and I love it here! More people are starting to move into Newcastle and we are getting a lot of new students, but it's not really dangerous here at all. I'm in the 7th grade and we have about 110 kids in our class. We are getting a lot of new equipment in our classes, and all of the teachers are pretty good here. This school was just built about 2 years ago, so it's literally brand new! If your moving to Newcastle and your going to come here, I promise you'll love it here!
