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.

Throughout my time through Katella High School, I was very determined to be a great student. Thankfully, the teachers I had were great and pushed me to be the best, and I utilized every opportunity that the school had granted us. Overall I truly think this school is a gem.

the school is bad, we have some teachers that are engaged with students and others who just seem to be there for money and leave. our students suck and have a drinking and smoking problem. throughout my time there as well i never felt safe and always found myself not going to certain areas because of certain kids. our admin aren't the best and don't get anything done they complain and complain about how the students act but don't do anything about it. the only reason why i put two stars was because of the few teachers that i have had that have made my high school experience memorable. overall this school just needs a more engaged admin!!!

I would like the administrators to work harder to provide a more nurturing environment, and have more follow ups with teachers.

Horrible school. I should say 80% of the students dislike their school administrators. Principal and 11th Grade AP pretending to be parents by disciplining students for activities that happened outside school campus. They should be more worrying about what is going inside campus and allowed the stud...
