Morton Ranch High School

Great programs. Like all schools, lacking in great teachers. But overall up in the top 10%.

Morton Ranch was four of the best years of my life. I had the most amazing teacher's that really prepared me for college and just my future. I have so many memories at Morton Ranch and am so thankful that I had an amazing high school!

I am currently a Junior (it's the 2008-2009 school year as I write this). I think this school is excellent. I've had troubles, but all were addressed quickly. My counselors are all very wonderful people and I will certainly miss them after graduating in 2010. When compared to other schools, there is actually very little drug use, violence and other random 'bad things'. I recently moved to Katy from L.A., and I have come to find that Texas is a very welcoming state, and so are the students and staff of MRHS. I love it here, not only in Texas, but in Morton Ranch.

Im a Sophmore at MRHS, and have moved around from school to school throughout my academic career. I feel that Morton is a really great school and has given me many oppurtunities. It is one of the best schools I have been to. Mr. Cammarata is a good principal and is always in the hallways being friendly to the students and trying to get involved. I feel secure in my school, and although it is getting slightly crowded, I think we are getting along just fine. And yes, i am not going to lie, there are drugs, fights, gangs, and different temptations, but it would be way worse in any other school or state, you can trust me on that one, but as long as we as students are sure of ourselves it should not be a problem. As for the teachers, most of them are great. I love my school.

I have a senior in MRHS and I don't have any complaints. I've always addressed my concerns to faculty/staff when needed and I've always been helped. Great school.

My child attended MRHS 9th grade and part of his soph.year.We decided to withdraw our child and enroll in a charter school. A few teachers tried to help, but explained that they had over a hundred students each day and could only do so much. Tutoring before and after school along with private lessons were no help.The counselors did not take it upon themselves to address our childs needs. Our child 'fell through the cracks'. I persisted with e-mail and calls for someone to help. Only 1 teacher replied and did try. We did make the choice for him to attend a charter school.Hopefully MRHS will open their eyes and give aid to students who need help at the 'FIRST' signs of a problem.

I don't believe this is one of the best schools. The education is good but the kids are not concerned about. I'm not saying its a horrible school its just not one of the best.

My daughter is a sophomore and my son will be a freshman next year. We haven't had any concerns about safety and the education is great. Thanks to a failed bond, the school is extremely crowded and will be that way for another year, but I have been in the hallways during class changes and felt perfectly safe. I've also been at various sporting events and, again, never felt threatened. Sure there are drug issues, but all high schools have them. Sure the crowd is a little rough, but they've always been respectful to me. I believe that MRHS does a great job with a few difficult situations.

Our two sons attend MRHS - one is a junior and the other a sophomore. My daughter will attend as a freshman next year. We have been very impressed with this school. The teachers are outstanding and truly care about their students academics and their safety. Neither of our boys have ever had any type of safety issues and feel secure in this school. MRHS is a great addition to the Katy High Schools!

My child went here as a freshman and I would have to say this isn't one of the best schools. the kids are way out of control and there are many fights and issues for a school that is so new. The teachers don't try and stop anything. There learning skills at this school would be the only good thing I have to say there is.
