Best school and best teachers! So many people excited about their job and students curious about their classes; so many opportunities for everyone to find what they like. Just like any school, WJ has areas to grow, such as including a wider variety of topics for the books in the media center, or more types of sports, but overall, I'm lucky and proud to be a Wildcat!
Amazing teachers and staff. Students are pretty friendly and there is quite a bit of diversity at the school though there could be more embracing of this. There are great opportunities both academically, athletically and socially. Lots of great school spirit as well! I wish there was more improvement in the music area and some of the facilities need to be a little better. The school is getting a bit overcrowded and we have been having to use more portables now. There is a little too much emphasis on test scores and grades though between students.
I believe that Walter Johnson High School is a very welcoming environment for anyone and has opened many opportunities for people. The teachers are motivated and passionate about what they do, making the classrooms fun and exciting. Many of my teachers througohut the years have made me feel excited to learn! Additioanlly, the school, in general, is well kept up and is filled with lovely staff. The staff tries to push their students to be the best they can be, in and outside of school. The school tries to accomadate for everyone and is a safe place where students come to learn, which is very important. The school makes sure to broadcast to the student body that everyone is accepted while teaching us life lessons we will have with us for college and so on. Overall, Walter Johnson has been an amazing place for me to learn and to better myself, and I know other would say the same.
