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.

I had a lot of good memories. Teachers are very caring and helpful. I made a good group of friends and everyone is accepting of others.

I am a senior at A.D.Johnston and have had a good experience at the school. I love the environment of the sports and being on the team and competing is always a pleasure. The only complaint I have is low resources so we have limited equipment and academic resources.

I am the kind of student who really enjoys learning. Its something that I hope to always do because building up my knowledge base is something that helps me in every situation. However, do to some very personal medical difficulties I am taking most of my classes through A.D. Johnston Junior/Senior High School online. The school is a very nice and safe place to be and the staff are all very kind and caring about the students.

Would never recommend. This school is a joke and should have merged with the other smaller schools so the kids could have more options and funding.
