City - New Castle

Located just six miles south of Wilmington, New Castle is a quiet, unique city in the northern portion of the state. With a small population of just over 5,000, this 3.5 square-mile town is a great place to live, play, and work.

The community is known for its abundance of historical buildings, some dating as far back as the 1600s. The Delaware Historical Society has done a great job of preserving the town's rich history throughout the years, giving residents an environment that radiates timeless charm.

The city’s position along the Delaware River provides excellent views over the water, particularly from New Castle Battery Park.

School data provided by The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
