The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

As someone who has been going to Johnson High School for four years now, I'd say it's a pretty great school. It offers a good amount of AP and Honors classes, Dual Enrollment, and it's one of the few schools in Hall County to offer IB courses. The administration and teachers are really nice, and you can tell that they care for their students. They're really encouraging and clearly want students to succeed.

I was the Senior Class President for the 50th Class of 2023. It was great the students are amazing, yes there are some students who lack motivation but most want the same thing, to get a diploma and move on to better things in life.

They were more about dress code than anything else. One of the only good things about this school was that it was really diverse, and everyone seemed to get along for the most part. There were not any "cool" kid groups.

My experience at JHS was the most valuable part of my life so far. I had so many chances to get involved with sports, clubs, and academics and with so many opportunities unique to the student life of a Knight you can't compare it to anything else. The staff here went above and beyond to prepare me f...
