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.

Overall I have had an amazing experience with Johnson Central High School. I started in 2019, so I started right before COVID-19 hit and we shut down. Even though we were online, I had a very good experience with teachers and other faculty trying to make it the best experience possible. Once we started coming back into the building all procedures were taken seriously to make us have the best and safest experience.

Johnson Central High School has given me the opportunity to grow not only academically but also as a person. Working closely with fellow students as well as caring staff has given me the chance to build necessary skills I will need later in life. I'd like to see more diversity brought into our school in the future.

Johnson Central is an amazing highschool. The food options are fantastic. There's always two new or cycled options for food. There's also always a pizza and taco bar line just in case you don't like what they're having. The sports are also great. They have everything from basketball and football to archery and tennis. The only bad thing about JCHS would be a very select few of the teachers. But overall the school is lovely.
