Castle View High School is a public high school in Castle Rock, Colorado, United States. It opened to serve students in the Douglas County School District in August 2006.
Castle View High School occupies a two-story building with over 70 classrooms, designed by H+L/LKA Architects. The campus is within the Meadows community. The building has three wings, each consisting of five "pods", in which 8-10 classrooms are grouped around a central office. In addition to this basic classroom space, there are a commons area, a three court gym, an auditorium, and miscellaneous classrooms and support buildings. The campus also contains six portable classrooms, partly because the school was originally planned to have a fourth wing, but it was never built. Various athletic venues, including two baseball fields, tennis courts, a track, and a football field, make up the rest of the campus.
The school is served by two roads, one providing direct access from Meadows Boulevard to the student lot in back, and a side street that connects the front entrance to the main thoroughfare. A road that will connect Castle View to US-85, and I-25, in addition to the rest of the Meadows, is currently under construction, with a expected completion date of Summer 2017.
For its first year of operation, Castle View only served ninth and tenth grade students. During the 2007-2008 school year, eleventh grade students joined the student body. It is now at full capacity, operating ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades since the start of the 2008-2009 school year.
The first graduating class from Castle View High School graduated at the Red Rocks Amphitheater on May 22, 2009.
While operating below its grade capacity during the 2007-2008 school year, a portion of the school building was used as overflow classroom space for around 300 students from Castle Rock Middle School. It has stopped serving this purpose since the new Mesa Middle School was constructed over the summer of 2008.
Currently, it serves roughly 2200 students, automatically receiving 8th graders from Castle Rock Middle School, in addition to open enrollment of roughly 100 students.
Castle View currently competes at the 5A level for all major sports, with some exceptions regarding cross-school teams. However, in the 2005-2006 school year, Castle View's football team played in the 3A Central Metro League. As of the 2008-2009 school year, most sports competed in the 4A Continental League.
