Katella High School

the best teachers are maria hoffman nadine miller marci maietta debra fris tim mcmenamin fern smith lois butler they taught me well

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 students to have a private life. They should mind their own business.

Horrible having to have someone I Love Terrorized going to school! The Principle & Vice Principle should be Fired! Taking the Bullying to Media also APD & ICE!

Im a sophomore here at this school and it is horrible. I originally transferred from a better high school that I attended freshman year. The principal I think tries to mean well but acts rowdy at times. Most of the students are students who couldn't care less and most likely won't attend college.

I'm not sure who left the other reviews for the school, but it is clearly a two-star site at best. The teaching quality is often mediocre depending on the department, often digressing into babysitting, worksheets are considered real "work," the budget never seems to match need, and the campus is a dump. It is sad to juxtapose this campus with others in the AUHSD. There is clearly some neglect from the district itself, and a lack of oversight. Katella averages a new principal every two years, but its AP's are never switched out. Student and parental involvement are extremely low. It is a miracle any of its (socially-promoted) "graduates" can survive in college, but most don't go anyway, so it's hard to tell what becomes of all these former Knights.
