I wouldn't recommend this school. My experience wasn't good, and I didn't feel supported. The building often smelled like eggs and sewage. My last math teacher, Mrs. Chin, called me a "dumbass" under her breath, which was really unprofessional and upsetting. I hope the school makes some changes.Because this year wasn't the year. read more

The food is way better than elementary, the teachers are nice but always remember your ID. The staff gets mad if you don't have your ID on you read more

This school is 1 star. The food lunch is moldy, and we have the same food every 2 days. When there's fights, they only get suspended and not expelled which is so dumb. And they take so long to fix the sewage pipes. read more

Don't go to room 340 with Ms. Williams! She grades very late, she doesn't tell us when to bring papers back, my friend did nothing and she was written up! Don't recommend. read more

Honestly the school staff and everything isn't bad, but the way students behave and how the staff don't manage the fights there is insane and crazy. I finished this school a few months ago and I realize how much better high school is than middle school. This middle school had many fights, people brought guns, drugs, vapes, etc. and the assistant principals don't even manage the fights right. They just get a suspension and that it. No one is expelled for some reason and no one is banned?? Like what is this school even doing?? read more

This school is so bad that all of the teachers are so rude and Ms. Williams made all of the kids cry because of her yelling it so bad that the 300 hallways sinks so bad like eggs and that is not good! And the hall monitors are pedo like wtf I don't like this as a 6th and new to the school, that is not good. Like this school can do better. read more

The only thing I have to say about this school is, don't bring your kids here if you want them to get hurt, there is many fights almost everyday in this school, and the teachers barely do anything to even help a kid when they're being bullied, and will randomly send the kid getting bullied to the office instead of the bad ones, this school isn't worth bringing your kids to, I highly don't recommend it. read more

there's a sewage leak in the 300s hallway that makes the hall smell like sewage, it's disgusting . they haven't fixed it but yet spend their money on buying pouches for phones. you have to sit through the stench of poop and eggs for an hour and your only allowed one bathroom pass a day, kinda stupid read more

Clean and inviting campus, open layout with palm trees in the courtyards and student-made art from when the campus opened- which by the way wasn't that long ago, has been open 23 years. Lots of technology available for students and teachers, most classrooms don't have windows which is a little odd but prevents distraction and is also a security measure. Library is also large and librarian is very involved in campus activities. Staff here are stellar. Teachers truly have the students' best interests in mind and are working toward what is best for the student's long term goals. Class sizes vary, but students by and large are respectful. Campus has several clubs including homework, anime, book, debate, yoga, and more. School also has a strong athletic program with basketball consistently making state championships and a large archery team. read more

Do NOT send your child here!! The educators are absolutely horrendous. Your child will not be SAFE. Constant fighting, lack of experienced teachers. There is no disciplinary action taken for those physically and mentally harming other students wanting to learn. Issue after issue my child has been withdrawn and it was the best decision I've made for my child's happiness and education. Close it down!!! read more

the school don't check backpacks and theirs constant fights 24/7 my daughter went to this school and she got jumped and the food is very unhealthy my daughter said the teachers are rude. I don't recommend your kids to go to Johnson. -Karen read more

I don't how this school used to have 5 stars but I don't like this school my son went here and there was threats about someone shooting up the school?!?! The food here is not good what so ever and the pizza is supposed to be papa Johns when it's just a brown box. read more

MUST READ I went to school here between 2019-2020 one of my teachers Ms.Abel or Tanya Abel is the one to stay away from! She will spend every second in class talking about all of the different men she is going out with at the same time, she will talk about politics alllll day! She is very into liberal beliefs and she is gonna push her beliefs on you hard! She would constantly talk about why trump is bad and if you ask at all about the work she will tell you to stop interrupting her or she will send you to the deans. I didn't know when I was younger that this is super inappropriate to do as a teacher! I found it very hard to concentrate on the actual assignments when she's going on a rant for three- four days long about abortions and who we need to vote for and why socialism is good and a lot of other weird stuff like how she would secretly go out when she wasn't at school and her drama she's dealing with at home like very personal stuff about her daughter and family and boyfriends. One day I want to have kids and I would just say that I will make an effort for them not to go to this school. read more

I went to this middle school. For all of middle school. I had great teachers here. The one I liked the most was Mr. Witt. There are other great middle schools in the valley too. There's Rogich, Becker, Fertita, and Leavitt. And I had a great six grade year, had a great seventh grade year, had a great eighth grade year. That was the end of the middle school life. read more

Registration in-charge for the transferee is not kind nor courteous in helping me for my sons smooth transfer.

This school is garbage I dislike with a passion. I did a quarter worth of work and it didn't even count toward my final grade. The teachers don't know what they are doing. And as a former student myself this is a horrible school. This school is "magnet" but it doesn't make a difference there were fights everyday. Lunch was nasty and under or overcooked. They even tried to charge me 400$ to replace a computer and it only cost 90$ dollars. They do not care about students and are self consumed mediocre school system and I hope that nobody has to go to the school and it closes down for ever. read more

This school has a very uneducated registration person. First of all my child completed 6th grade here, during the summer we moved a few block so she wasn't zone for this school. When I did the online registration I has no issues 2 weeks before the school began I went in and asked why we hadn't receive anything on regards to what class is she in or anything. When the lady check that our address had changed she said we no longer belonged here and that she would have to go to Findlay. My heart sunk. For one my child has good grades has completed a full year already, and she is familiar with the teachers office staff and her friends are here. Why send her to a new school that can affect her grades and her social life. Im not asking for transportation or anything. With all that a side, my mom who shares address with me. Goes in with my cousin (mom has guardianship) to register everything goes smooth she gets her classes and done deal. Why??? Because she is special needs?? does the school get paid more for a special needs that a "A" student??? read more

Previous student of this school. Staff are unprofessional and blatantly disrespectful. The two assistant principals I've encountered were disrespectful. The woman assistant principal said only pregnant people could get morning sickness, when I told her I unfortunately suffer it (and was the reason why I puked in the first place) I was 14 at the time and it is very inappropriate to say that to middle schooler. No, I don't go out fucking people. There was a woman assistant too, which BEFOREHAND I asked if I could go into the school, when she said she was the one who saw me puke in the first place. They said this in the gym which there were tons of kids and teachers, they knew I was going to be embarrassed. She is extremely unprofessional. There are many racist kids in this school too. I had unfortunately met them. Two of them made racist jokes and the Spanish teacher didn't care. One also made fun of neurodivergent people. I asked the teacher to deal with it the first time. Which I'm sure she did nothing as the student proceeded to make racist jokes later. I went to the head principal TWICE because the situation wasn't handled properly since the kid did it AGAIN. The male assistant principal sided with the racist kid and I was belittled by both the teacher and principal. Teachers are very two sided, one side hating district and the other loving district. One of the math teachers admitted to listening to kids conversations because she looks like a kid. She said that to me and this other student. Also teachers don't give a shit about you, they only care about money and that's it. These teachers would rather argue with you than actually listen. One of the health/pe teachers made fun of me for not having canned food but having ramen. I am half Asian why the fuck would I have beans in my house? She also laughed at a kid falling. Staff here act like they're still in highschool. Nurse also sucks, she blamed me for throwing up and when I told my parents she acted nice. English teacher said she would spank a kid with a paddle. This school sucks, if you could choose hell or here, I'm sure hell would treat you better than the horrible staff here. I could add more but I'm sure my point comes across. read more

This is the best school ever my son went there and he loved it staff is nice teachers are nice food is delicious. Love it

If you plan on moving and "breaking" your magnet school contract, don't put your kid in a magnet program because the principal/magnet appeals office make very few exceptions. You have to move out of state or to Reno according to the receptionist at Johnson or you have to have an extreme hardship transportation-wise according to the appeals officer for the magnet program. When I complained that my child would have to walk 1 hour to the new bus stop and then take a bus for 30 minutes, they didn't care and kept repeating that I signed the contract. Transportation is provided for our neighbor's son at the same local school, but my child must walk to that same local school to catch the bus to the magnet program because he is in a magnet program and magnet transportation is only provided at schools and not neighborhoods, which is discrimination against kids who attend a magnet program, most likely to same CCSD money. Clearly, a magnet is selected when the local school is known for drugs, crime, and a poor education, but if you move farther away and your new local school is better than the magnet program, you are still stuck there and your kid may be stuck walking 2-3 miles and then taking a bus for 30 minutes to an hour even though he/she did not agree to do that before moving to the new home, so according to Rachel R. at the magnet school appeals office, "when you sign your contract, don't plan on moving until the end of the contract." read more

Most of the teachers here are engaging and I can tell by the grades some of the teachers have a hard time with students. I feel that there should be circumstances for children who act up in class I watched spitballs to talking during class and the students at 6th and 7th grade levels running the classroom. What happened to discipline I am not saying anything drastic or rash but playtime is for recess. If you want 12 and 13 year old's to act like adults it is just not going to happen especially when you have one bad apple. I went to the deans office for disrupting class that doesn't seem to happen here. read more
