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.
