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.

Being at John Henry for 4 years has been really different. Over all these 4 years, there have been 3 different principals, which I feel has really messed us up as a school. With my experience, I don't feel like this has been a good school. We don't get to experience what other high schools experience. This school doesn't like to do anything. During my freshman year, there was a walkout where students were fighting to be heard because this school would discriminate against Hispanic students. Almost all the students walked out because we wanted to be heard, and once again, nothing happened. Now, for my senior year, there have been people getting into fights, and the school does not do anything about it; they just prefer to let things slide. I don't think that's how a school should work. I would have loved to go to a different school where they actually care about what their student have to say and make their high school experience fun.

John Henry is a good small school consisting of about 300 students. This gives you a chance to personally know the staff and students. Also getting one on one help with your counselor for college applications.

It's good overall, like teachers are willing to help students learn and grow. However some problems that there is that there is no enough teachers. Many classes including from seniors, juniors, sophomores, and freshmans that don't have teachers in most of their classes. It affects the underclassmens since knowing the class is necessary.

There is two bathrooms a big one a small one the big one is always close and a big one only has two urinals and one toilet was broken. The other toilet was good. The big bathroom is never open. Only the teachers go in there when they have to use the bathroom. It’s rare to see the big bathroom open.
