I'm my experience as an ex student, when I went to that school the teachers were very rude to students and parents. The teachers pick favorites and never listen to both students if something happens. During lunch they turn the lights out and if you speak while the lights are off, you stand against t
Posted by a community member on 11/14/2025I am an ex student of this school and it was a terrible experience. They made me feel super emotional and depressed, my family was treated with harshness and stress. They stressed my family out because of how they treated me and it was obvious that my mental health was severely bad. The teachers wer
Posted by a community member on 11/14/2025As a previous student of Johnston, I am not pleased. Shows of favoritism shown by the teacher,principles,and other staff. In all respects, I believe all students, should be taught in an environment balanced. Not whether your the last name of Maxwell,Johnson,or Garica.
Posted by a community member on 6/6/2012Johnston is an awesome school wth wonderful leadership and excellent teachers. That is why it is the number one school in Highland.
Posted by a parent on 6/5/2012I have a student going now and a future one attending soon. Maybe coming from Chicago public schools makes me rate higher but it's a huge difference and I'm happy my kids get to go to this school instead of Chicago or Hammond.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy children have been going to olg for 3 years. This year has been horrible! These kids continue to fight call each other names! And just this week my son was in the bathroom and a older student grabbed him by the shirt and threw him against the wall. The same day same kid told my 14 year daughter to "open her legs". The school decided to take his recess away! Really that is it! This child has been nothing put trouble all year not only with my children but several children. Another incident a child was in the bathroom stall using the bathroom and the same student and other kids were kicking the door open numerous times. What happened to no tolerance!! My children are not safe here.I do not recommend this school at all!!Parent Review4y ago - Highland Christian School
