Johnson is a school with great potential, unfortunately this potential will not be realized for another 10 years. I would most definitely send my child here, but only because I want them to become street smart before entering college. I can attest to the quality of education Johnson provides to it's students, my family has had hundreds of Johnson graduates. The East Side community is the only thing holding this school together, so if you're comfortable with that mentality, then this is the school for you. If not, then I would look else where. The East Side has an extreme sense of identity, most of which has been lost or misconstrued into selfish pride on the current generations attending the school. Students with little supervision at home will struggle here! They will become subject to adult issues very rapidly and need much more attention than the school can afford. Get your child into the ROTC program! They may be ostracized by their peers a bit, but you won't regret it when they aren't repeating high school courses in college. Trust me on that! Some of the finest students in the city represent Johnson, but the same can be said about poorest performing students.

did not at all like this school. My daughter was considently bullied. The teachers in the hall did NOTHING to curb, the disrespect, that alot of students did. Everytime I walked into that school, students were constitently, swearing at the staff, It was envirnoment, I did not want my child in. And they locked the students up in the school, like animal, which I have to say, some of them were, the way they acted. Awful school

It is very unwelcoming and teaçhers and staff are unprofessional. They don't reach out when there are issues until it is far too late and then came to me with a negarive hatered lens toward my child.
