This school has been an exemplary place of learning for both of my children. The teachers have encouraged and built into their futures, helping and directing toward college. The older student is now a junior in college and still keeps in touch with many of her teachers. As a previous home schooler, I have been very happy with the results gained at this school. Well done!

This school is good if you want to be bullied and harassed day in and day out. Worst school district.

This is one of the worst schools I have ever encountered. Children are just passed onto the next grade, even when grades are not earned. The community is more concerned about a football score than if the children are going to actually become something one day. Driver's Ed is given to students who are failing other classes, when the student has over 30 absences, truancy is not called. If you are an out of district parent due to divorce, the staff will not give you the time of day.

The Illinois State Board of Education placed Johnsburg School District on the state's 2015 financial watch list. Since only 38 of the state's 860 school districts were named to this list, that places Johnsburg in the bottom 5% of school districts with the worst financial health in Illinois(www.isbe.net/sfms/p/2015-fin-profile-based-on-14-data.pdf). I've noticed the quality of the teaching staff has declined significantly. Most teachers are there because it's a job and they need to gain work experience before moving on to a better school. Some electives have been cut recently, and due to the school's enrollment size most electives are only offered one period a day. My kids have had to drop classes due to scheduling conflicts. The small school appeal translates to limited opportunities. Do your research before moving to this district. There are much, MUCH better schools in the area. Would I recommend sending your kids to JHS or even living in Johnsburg? NO.
