6/8/2025
Very loud, not welcoming, and unsafe. When given the option not to be there most kids aren't due to the environment and safety.

I think the best experience is the diversity of the student body and the wide options of diploma or work study options. I would like to see the public perspective of this school change. It gets a bad rap in the community that I feel is undeserved. I would also like to see the sports programs improve a little bit. I think that would help with public perception, too.
3/6/2025
Governor Thomas Johnson High School is overall a pretty good school. The sports are great and the school spirit is top notch, but the fights and safety could use work.

One time someone brought a knife to a lunch room and tried to stab a classmate, lots of physical violence and fig...

I have three children, one is graduating from TJ this month, another next year, and my youngest will be a freshman next year. I can’t say enough good things about our experience with TJ. I was very nervous given some of the low ratings but I have been so impressed by the staff and administration. I...

This school is amazing. The staff really care about the students success. I went on to get a PhD in aerospace engineering and within my peer group we had numerous JD’s, PhD’s and MD. This school set students up for success.
