Johnson Senior High School

I am a current student at Johnson and expect to be graduating here in 2011. This school is absolutely amazing. The relationship between student and teachers is very good and uplifting. Of course there are the occasional faults with small fights, but they are handled calmly and professionally. Also, the students are so diverse and so involved with the school. They give off a welcoming and family like atmosphere when they are together. The students are intelligent and optimistic and I believe that we don't regret choosing Johnson as our highschool choice.

I am currently a freshman at Johnson. Although i have not been in this school very long, it really is amazing. The band is fantastic and I now have the chance to be in a play! All the activities are open to the whole school and the teachers are really nice. There are many oppertunities and chances to do great things in this school!

I just graduated from Johnson from the class of 2007 and I loved Johnson. During my sophmore year there was alot of fights, but the teachers did handle it fine. I do have to admit that the teachers do favor the athletes more but it's not to the point where they would pass an athlete because thier on a sport. The school has a great East Side Pride and it's perfect for the true East Sider!

Graduating in the top 10% of my class and being involved in many activities, I think that this is a good school for many. The teachers grading seems to be the same for all the students. This is a good school and I think that it depends on which part of the school you see that determines what you think the school's environment is. What one has to see is the Air Force Junior ROTC program because that is a great program and it does not involve any commitment to any military at all. The program is all about building better citizens and it's a fun and exciting program to be part of. You have to check it out if you're at Johnson Senior High School.

Both my daughters attended Johnson. They saw a few fights in the halls but said teachers handled it right away. Both were top students of their class plus they participated in 2 sports. I have found the Principal to be very encouraging and able to be tough on kids that need to focus on academics.

It is hard to remain too positive about this school. This school does little to foster the good students and more to discourage them. Victims are punished or blamed for situations above their control. The administration does not seem too supportive of parent's concerns or concerns of the students and that bothers me. It is under the school's jurisdiction to see that their students are safe and feels safe. I noticed that teachers tend to be a bit on the rude side. I feel the teachers should be better trained and should respect parents at conferences and respect the children. The children are the future and they should be prepared.

This is a fine school. Teachers make the material interesting. Don't listen to past reviewers. You will do well here if you are a hard working and strong student.

The school is okay but there are problems with getting the staff to listen to students and parents. I feel like crying at this school just because of they way things happen around here.

I just finished school there last yearand I must say that I agree with the person that sent in her review. During the school year I felt like I did nt get the education I thought I should of got. I tried my vary best and maintained a good enough GPA for me but the teachers tend to favor the sports players more. They do it more towards the football, hockey, basketball, and baseball players. Also about the fights and allthe fire drills we had last year I thought that did not help alot in my education part. If I could go though high school again I would'nt go back to Johnson.
