GreatSchools Rating
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.

My experience at Catasauqua High School has been interesting. I saw that because it has had many ups and downs. For instance the best part for me is the fact that teachers really do love their jobs and are very eager to teach and they are very helpful. They motivate me to be better. The worst part would probably be our school lunch because most of the time it doesn't taste very good . If I could change one thing it would probably be getting more clubs and activities. I feel like compared to other schools Catasauqua lacks clubs and activities for students.

I really like it here. It's a fairly small school where everyone knows everyone. The teachers and staff are very easy to talk to and that's something I admire.

I love the athletics and the beauty of the high school! The cafeteria is a great size for the amount of student there are, so it doesn't feel crowded.
