My experience at this school has not been so good . The principle here don't take action in alot siuation she thinks having the students walking around the whole school after being in trouble , suspended or got sent to the office with a referral is going to help its not . Call all the parents round up a meeting and talk it over WITH them about there child .

I say disagree only BECAUSE this falls on some teachers and MOSTLY ON THE PRINCIPLE. I volunteer from time to time I am a parent of two children at the school and I have seen a lot of things going on and I can say that when a kid is being bullied and wants to let An adult know know all I hear from a lot of teachers , staff, and principal is don't be a tattletale . Alot of the time they just brush the students off all because they don't want to deal with it . Most of the time kids verbally and they don't do much about it but to ingore it how can our children to that ?? And when it gets physical they say don't hit back let them get in trouble like really ?? The principle here don't know how to handle a lot of situations.

I went to johnson from kinder to 5th grade. I am now in middle schoo land the teachers that I've had were fun and amazing. As you get older and get used to the school you can find yourself fitting in quite easily. The end of the years activities are fun and what you do are all up to your teacher. Well then again you might not have the same teachers as I had.

Thus far this school has been a great experience for my son. His teacher is structured and consistent. He's homework is also consistent and I like the methods of learning that his teacher uses. I also have to say that the principal is very involved with the students and also assists with making sure students leave school safely.

My 5th grade daughter, who is about to graduate Johnson, loves this school. It is a great school with several extracurricular projects like science fairs, music band class, the Star party, and the Math Fair. It is great for 5th graders because the school gives several special promotional activities like the trip to Boomers, the softball game.
