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.

The experience was fine there was nothing extremely good and nothing extremely bad. I would not change anything.

Johnson college prep is a great school. Johnson helps with college readiness and preparing the students for the real world. Johnson offers good classes, and knows the worth of Johnson students. But one thing about Johnson College Prep is that Johnson is somewhat unorganized. But overall I like Johnson and I'm learning much.

This is honestly one of the best high schools in Chicago! I am currently about to begin my junior year here. I've had a couple of ups and downs but overall its worth it in the end, Johnson is apart of the Noble Network so you can expect demerits for even the SLIGHTEST things. But JCP has also taught...

I wouldn't want to teach at any other school or in any other network; Johnson is a wonderful school! I feel a sense of community not only with my students, but also with the other teachers. My students are able to thrive in this environment and really love learning.
