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.

A.R. Johnson is a good school for the county it is in. In more recent years the enrollment requirements have loosened but it still is very high-quality with teachers that care about the students. And clubs to cover many interest.

Good school if you are interested in going into Healthcare or Engineering during college. Most teachers are nice and are very helpful especially when you're in high school. Students overall are very spirited especially in athletics, the teams are supportive. Overall Johnson is a pretty good school.

It was an amazing school. The staff were amazing. The guidance counselor was the best she helped get my life together and even helped me graduate early and get into college. The Librarian was also the best and she was super sweet and fun. She also helped me whenever I needed. Overall it was an amazing experience.

On the other hand, if you actually go to this school,...
