This School’s Reviews

3.0 Junior

12/31/2024

Johnsburg high school is a great place and the teachers are good because of the small classes so you can ask more questions.

3.0 Alum

5/16/2024

Johnsburg is a small school in a rural community. It is lacking in student diversity along with curriculum diversity. An example of the lacking curriculum is only offering one foreign language.

4.0 Alum

1/17/2024

Johnsburg high school is a small tight knit community where everyone is very friendly and welcoming.

This school seems to put sports and activities ahead of learning. My daughter is not challenged by any teachers, never has any homework and somehow walks away easily with all A's. Even in the areas she struggles in such as English, she walks away with easy A's and I have to put in the extra effort a...

This school has been an exemplary place of learning for both of my children. The teachers have encouraged and built into their futures, helping and directing toward college. The older student is now a junior in college and still keeps in touch with many of her teachers. As a previous home schooler,...

This school is good if you want to be bullied and harassed day in and day out. Worst school district.

4/30/2018

This is one of the worst schools I have ever encountered. Children are just passed onto the next grade, even when grades are not earned. The community is more concerned about a football score than if the children are going to actually become something one day. Driver's Ed is given to students who ar...
