Summary

Johnson High School is a public high school located in Savannah, Georgia, serving 797 students in grades 9-12. It is part of the Savannah-Chatham County School District, which is ranked 127 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its consistent enrollment, Johnson High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Georgia high schools, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade. Its four-year graduation rates, ranging from 82.6% to 89.1%, are slightly below the state average but on par with the district. However, the school's proficiency rates on the Georgia Milestones assessments are consistently lower than the district and state averages across all subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from 19.1% to 34.6% in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to the district's 28.4% to 37.7% and the state's 38.6% to 44.9%.

When compared to other nearby high schools in the Savannah-Chatham County district, such as Woodville-Tompkins Technical and Career High School and Savannah Classical Academy Charter High School, Johnson High School consistently underperforms, with significantly lower test scores and state rankings. The school's high poverty rates, ranging from 77.34% to 81.93% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to its challenges, and addressing these underlying issues could be crucial for improving student outcomes and overall school performance.
