GreatSchools Rating
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.

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.

I liked that you could get involved in any club you wanted to and you would always having something to do. All students got a chance to be involved in the high school.

Johnson Central is very good at college preparation. Student involvement is something they value very much. I've learned a lot, and couldn't have went to a better high school.
