Johnson Senior High School

Literally AWFUL, could have sued this school but decided not to. Made BIG mistakes and did not take responsibility for their mistakes but instead DENIED it. Absolutely unbelievable! Do not enroll your children into this school!!!

I love this school, this school shows significance in diversity and shows that a change can be made in Minnesota.

I love Community of Peace Academy. All three of my sons have attended this school, and the attention and care they have received is amazing. The teachers are very experienced, and many of them have been at the school for 10+ years. This school really values relationships and peace. Of course kids have conflicts that come up, but the school teaches them conflict resolution skills to work through it, and when a kid gets in trouble, they are expected to right their wrongs. One of my sons had some behavior issues when he was little, and even though some days he was breaking rules multiple times (like, double digits), the teacher still treated him with kindness and gave him the chance to grow and improve his behaviors. Neither I nor my son ever felt like the teacher was mad or disliked him despite his challenges. The patience, love, and unconditional positive regard is so evident at this school. I also felt like my kids were challenged academically. For example, my middle boy was an early reader, and the teacher provided him with individualized lessons to help him grow at his own speed. I highly recommend this school.

I wouldn't be able to recommend this school. The bus frequently goes by our house without stopping, causing my daughter to often miss the bus. We frequently receive bogus letters about her missing too much school-only missed two days in an entire year or less! In addition, they have the students sharing lockers... it's no wonder she keeps getting headlice! Anyhow, save yourself a headache, don't enroll your child in this school.

Was a former student, teachers were nice and very good at teaching. And I liked it there, teachers were very supportive.

PLEASE DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO THIS SCHOOL. Horrible experience there. So upset with the school, principal Nicky Napierala and their special education staffs. The school system and their principal there is a joke. My daughter was not a normal child. Her brain process things slower then normal. Suspending her everyday mean less time for teaching and learnings. She's missed all her IEP class and sessions that was paid for to the school. I felt really bad for my daughter at the time that she need their help the most but they threw her under the bus and ignored her disability. Know wonder why the school had a high suspension rate for disability students. I'm glad I took my daughter out. The school was horrible, students at this school is graded at below level. Find a better school for your little educators, not a school where kifs are falling further behind.
