Summary

Johnson Middle is a public middle school serving 505 students in grades 6-8 within the Westminster School District, currently rated as an average-performing school statewide.

When compared to other middle schools in the area, Johnson Middle's overall academic performance in core subjects like English and math is lower than both the district and state averages, and it ranks below other schools in the Westminster district such as Warner Middle and Helen Stacey Middle. The school also faces a challenge with chronic student absenteeism, which is higher than at many nearby schools. However, Johnson Middle receives significantly more funding per student than most of its peers, including those in other districts like Vista View Middle.

Despite its middling overall ranking, the school shows notable strengths in supporting some of its most vulnerable student groups, such as English learners and students from low-income families, where its results are strong. This creates a complex picture where the school is effective in targeted areas but has not yet translated its substantial resources and specific successes into higher achievement for all students across the board.
