I went to Katy for all four years of highschool & it was a really great experience. People can say that it is only football based but that is entirely not true. Yes, football is a very successful program for the Tigers but it is only one component. Katy also has great academic, & arts programs in addition

I did all AP courses, graduated with a 3.9 & wasn't even top 10% which shows the academic integrity of the campus. When I went to college, I was surprised by how unprepared many other students seemed to be... did their highschools not prepare them for a continuing education like Katy did for me? Involvement in Katy was very easy & a great social tool for me. There's something to gain for all students here. Read less

Thank God it is not just me. I was beginning to worry....Katy is the place to be if you are into football. They put way too much emphasis in to it. The kids spend so much time on the football field and training for athletics. With as much money as the kids bring in with football and all the time they

These kids should be taught that they are student-athletes!!! Student comes first. There is nothing in place to keep these kids on track in the classroom while they are out working for Katy! I personally know of a few Kathy athletes struggling because they are not getting the quality time in with the books. Get it together Katy! Teachers wake up! Parents wake up! Read less

I had three children graduate from this school. I think, overall, it's a great school, but notice all reviews are from those who had academically gifted or sports/band children! Only one of my three participated in these programs, and the two who didn't, DID NOT get the same care and attention. They

You'll have to work hard as a parent to NOT have them fall through the cracks.....ALL students need to feel a part of the campus - and unless they play football (or participate in its ancillary entertainment)....Good Luck!

I have a student at this school. The only issues that I have are that they put to much importance on football. My son plays but I can not believe how much money is in the booster club.
