During my time at Johnson Senior High school I have had an enjoyable time here. With the best being the community around here since this school is very diverse which allowed me to experience different cultures and customs. Also with the team here since they are here for us and they do their best to support our paths during the 4 year school life. But then the worst parts are just the building where I had to experience hot summer days with no ac and cold winter days with no heating but then with the help the school team it was manageable.

Decent, overall average high school experience. A really solid STEM and aerospace program. Additionally, the AFJROTC program is prominent.

Johnson special ed teachers are exceptionally good at what they do, helping my daughter out of her shell socially and academically. She went from failing classes and being totally withdrawn (zero friends) at previous sc...

This school is the pinnacle of "ghettoness". One of the most annoying things about this school are the moments within which you are walking to your next class during passing time, and a bunch of the more immature and ignorant students stand around in your way doing whatever it is that they're doing,...
