School Reviews
5 7/19/2022
My three children graduated from Johnson with their first year of college completed via dual credit or AP exams, and two essentially earned full college scholarships. All 3 graduated from college in either 3 or 4 years. I highly recommend this school, especially for parents who know that the school is only 1/4 of the equation; the parents have to do their 1/4, and the student has to be responsible for the rest. PS: The elementary and middle schools that feed into Johnson are amazing too. If you are military and don't know the area, this is a great place for your kids.

As a result, House democrats have taken up the issue in a new bill that would ban all forms of corporal punishment nationwide.
