This School’s Reviews

4.0 Parent

4/12/2025

The students have access to college classes taken at the high school which is a benefit for kids heading to college after graduation. There are numerous extracurricular activities for the students to engage in. Parent involvement is severely lacking. The staff is engaging and cares about the students.

3.0 Senior

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.

Whatever they are serving kids is gross, the teachers only give notes or sit around doing nothing. I have two good teachers with only one being exceptionally good. The buildin...

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