The school publishes highly specific dismissal routing.
Parents using the front pickup are directed toward Fourth Street, Monroe Street, and First Street to reduce backup on State Street. A separate rear pickup uses Posey Street and the south side of the school.
This is current, genuinely local traffic information.
State Road 261 and Castle-Area Traffic
Castle High School is currently at 3344 State Route 261, using a Newburgh mailing address.
Because the campus is in the broader Newburgh area and not necessarily within the incorporated town boundary, it should be described as Newburgh-area SR 261 traffic, not automatically as downtown Newburgh traffic.
