Overall I would say I truly enjoy Katy High School I would not want to go to any other high school.I feel safe here and enjoy almost all of the students here. The teachers are very nice and I enjoy all my teachers they do a very good job.I am very thankful that I go to Katy and not any other school in Katy ISD. Our sports here are also very good which also helps liking the school better. I would say most of the teachers do there jobs well and still let us enjoy the school year.

My experience at Katy High School was a very positive one. It was a time where I discovered myself and really grew into the person I am today. I have now finished my 1st year of college, and I can confidently say that the support I had in high school from teachers, parents, coaches, and students helped to prepare me for my further education.

Terrible. Have tried to leave and people at the district are heartless and don’t care. 6/10 on great schools means my kid is getting an inferior education while I’m paying outrageous taxes.
