All 3 of my children have gone or are still going to Johnson. Our oldest, now 8 and attending Fairview, began attending in kindergarten when they began the grade alike program. The program has been absolutely wonderful. The bullying happens less often. And when it does happen, it is taken care of immediately. The Child's Garden program at Johnson for preschool there is one of the best preschool programs I've seen yet. . The staff is knowledgeable and wonderful. They have made such an impression on my children and they all love going to school just to see their teachers! You couldn't ask for anything better!

My son was special ed, and integrated into the regular classes. I am really impressed with the preschool and his 1st grade teacher. But as a whole, I am not impressed with the school. I've known too many people in the resource room programs passing when they shouldn't be. Girls who find themselves pregnant are pretty much pressured to leave. Sports and theater are the most important things. And last year, TWO KINDERGARTEN students were let off the bus at the wrong stops. One driver stopped at East Leech Park when a 5 year old thought she saw her mom's car. And he let her off. The other was let off randomly, and was found wandering in the cold and snow several hours later. When they promised to look up the tape off the bus to see where she was let off to help the cops search, Julie never even pulled the tape. There are aides on every bus, but there is still a huge issue with bullying. It is even happening in the kindergarten classes. Over all, I am not impressed with the school anymore, and have decided to relocate.

My son has attended Johnson school for k-3, and has had a wonderful experience thusfar. The teachers are knowledgable, caring, and willing to work with any student, no matter the circumstances. They offer a variety of ways for parent to get involved, and have an open line of communication between parents, teachers, and administrators.
