Summary

Moe And Gene Johnson High School in Buda, TX, is a large high school serving 2,870 students in grades 9-12 within the Hays Consolidated Independent School District, and it has earned a 4-star rating for five consecutive years, placing it as a solidly above-average performer in Texas.

Johnson High School stands out as the highest-ranked traditional high school in its district, significantly outperforming nearby peers like Lehman High School and Jack C. Hays High School. Its greatest academic strength is in English Language Arts, where proficiency rates in English I and II are well above the state average and even surpass those at the highly-ranked Bowie High School. The school also shows remarkable support for specific student groups, with African American and Special Education students performing in the 81st and 76th percentiles statewide, respectively. However, Algebra I is a notable weakness, with only 48.55% of students proficient, which is below both the district and state averages.

An interesting comparison is with Bowie High School, a 5-star school just 6.4 miles away in the Austin Independent School District (Isd). While Bowie has a 99.7% graduation rate and serves a more affluent population, Johnson High School achieves strong results while serving a student body with more than double the poverty rate. Johnson also operates efficiently, spending $9,072 per student—less than lower-performing district peers. Despite its overall success, the school's graduation rate of 93.2% is slightly lower than Jack C. Hays High School's 94.8%, and performance for Gifted and Talented students has declined to the 61st percentile, suggesting enrichment programs may need attention.
