About Our School

Castle School was built in 1969 in Oakdale Village and was named for Henry Anson Castle, the founder of North St. Paul. Mr. Castle once owned the property the school was built on.

The school was built with a non-graded philosophy, which was popular at the time. Rooms were designed with walls that opened into large, common areas, providing academic flexibility. During the 1969-1970 school year, Castle was home to 350 students.

Today, we have approximately 500 students and approximately 3 sections at each grade level.

Castle Beliefs: Castle Elementary believes in establishing a safe, secure, supportive environment based on respect and cooperation of all members of the school community. Together, we can motivate our children to be lifelong learners.
