Nothing, the school is very productive and have excellent learning experiences. Some of the students in the school can be extra, but everyone is equal to one another.

What do I like about Johnson College Prep? Well, let me tell you about my high-school. My teachers are the best. They are always pushing me to go above and beyond. When there are things I don't necessary understand, my teachers are always available for any additional resources I may need to complete my work.

I like the structured and disciplined environment that it created for students to feel motivated to strive to indulge in their education. The staff and teachers are very supportive providing the students with excellent opportunities. I enjoyed being involved with sports clubs and other activities that involved being a role model & showing the excellence of the school.
