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.

Walter Johnson High School is a great school with great teachers and academic opportunities. It has great math and science department even one of the best in Maryland I think and it is quite competitive. Its Art department is somewhat good but in comparison to math and science it lacks courses and teachers. There are a lot of students from a lot of different countries and with a lot of different backgrounds so it is a diverse place. So overall it is a great school.

Good teachers, great friends, great athletics. A very accepting environment just really big. Classes are large but able to get extra help.
Really bad experience for my son. He was introverted and needed support. Social scene awful. Too big. Not enough attention. Academics strong. Emotional and social support terrible. I should have pulled my son out. Tough tough place!
today a student from walter johnson brought a gun to the school, and i believe with everything going on at this school it is staring to turn bad, like the walter johnson football game vs bcc after fight, and now the gun, including people who smoke in the bathrooms
