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.

This school is very diverse, you get to see people from different cultures and backgrounds, the staff is friendly and very caring towards students. I feel good at school and always feel like i'm learning something.

The worst part is the fights that happen but I just ignore them. The food is somewhat decent sometimes. The bathrooms are constantly dirty, like there's pee on the floor and toilet paper too. That's more on the students though because they are nasty. Its sort of a hit or miss with the teachers too. You could get a really good one or you get one that doesn't really care.

My overall experience at Hiram W. Johnson is that's it's good solid school overall but there are some places where it could improve in such as staff and security.
