My child has been going to Johnson for four years now and we LOVE IT! Every teacher has been absolutely wonderful and the Principle and AP know each and every one of these kids and are very engaged with all of them. There is diversity at this school that we enjoy and is celebrated, but I also see that all the kids are getting the attention and resources that they need. We feel very supported and love to be involved. When summer break was over this year my kiddo was so EXCITED to be going back to school; that was the testament to how great Johnson is!

Johnson has been a great experience for our family. When exploring the schools in the district, I toured 11 different schools including charter schools and identified programs(Core Knowledge, IB, STEM). You name it and I probably toured and researched the different structure of curriculum. I found Johnson, it was the only school in the district that makes counseling a designated special. In addition the other specials were included and identified as an important piece of preservation in education to identify “The Whole Child” perspective. We choiced into Johnson my sons kindergarten year and eventually bought a house in the neighborhood to be closer to the Johnson community. My son is now in his last year at Webber Middle School and walks to pick up our daughter’s from school daily with the schools being next to each other! This school provides a community, a family and the ideology of “The Whole Child” both with a strong curriculum and social/emotional development. I cannot speak more highly of what this school has to offer.

This school was the best school ever!! I didn’t really like going to Johnson at the time but now that I’ve graduated if I had the choice to go back to Johnson all over again or graduate school for ever right now I would choose to go back to Johnson again! All my friends where great and it felt like a community there and the education was good and I felt like it was a great place to grow up at.

My oldest just finished and had an amazing 6 years. I’m thankful my youngest will be there a few more years. We LOVE our Johnson community.

Teachers truly care and go above and beyond to help each student at his or her level. Both my kids went here and both had many outstanding teachers who fostered a love of reading, art, science, and more. Good parent and community involvement, too.

This is a quality school in a great neighborhood. It is not a great school. As a teacher myself I haven't seen anything that sets is apart. It's very nice looking , yes. The classrooms are nice looking , yes. There's just nothing to rave about. I'd recommend 1 of the 3 teachers my child had at this school. They have activities like rock climbing but you better be on the inside because it's full before they even send the notice out to all the parents. It really bothered me how the previous bi-lingual principal seemed to favor the ESL kids. Stopped going to PTO because of it . He sat at the head of the table and decided what to do with your $$. And they're always asking for your $$.

This was a great school for my two kids. They enjoyed school, their teachers cared about them, and they grew as learners!
