John Johnson is a good school but can be better if they had a better bullying policy. Sad to say not only are the children teasing and picking on each other but the teachers as well is ignoring these events and chose to do nothing about it but continue to let it happen. My child is a student attending John Johnson elementary school in the 1st grade and almost everyday if not everyday if my child is coming home sad and hurt because the students pick on him and mistreat him; while the teachers sit back and do nothing or get tired of him complaining about it and isolate him to a corner to sit alone away from all the other children. It hurts my heart seeing my child everyday in pain because no one at John Johnson Elementary School wants to take my concerns seriously. I am afraid for my child to attend this school everyday because tomorrow may never be guaranteed. :(

My son is an only child and it has always been hard to get him to leave my side. From every daycare to school his attend in the past it has always been a lot of crying. His first day it John Johnson was the best we have ever have. He is up and ready to go to school everyday and was upset the first weekend when school started. If it was up to him he would go 7 days a week. He loves his teachers and everything about going to this school. Even as a parent all the people that work there are really nice, caring and loving to us as well as all the student. It really warm my heart to know that everyday my son walk in the door the same person is there saying good morning, a hug and a smile for every child. That right there start the children out with a good day and know that they are in a safe place.

Our family has been unbelievably impressed with this school. Our son has been challenged academically and has excelled beyond belief. We have been amazed that the Principal and Assistant Principal know each student by name. The students are greeted every morning and spoken to individually. This is certainly a top notch school and one that I am eternally grateful we had the opportunity to be a part of.
