most teachers there are very nice and some barely give work. unless they are ms.solodyna or ms.khan. when you get there in 6th grade the only hard part is adjusting in the first few months, the it's fine. 7th grade is probably the hardest especially if you are in activities. 8th grade is easy unless you have algebra and that is the only hard class. the magnets are alright, theatre isn't that good.

hello my name is kennedi and I am currently attending Johnston,now called Meyerland middle school,as an 8th grader.Overall I kind of enjoyed my experience here.If you want to have fun here you have to make friends if you don't have friend your going to be bored.some of the teachers here have a good way of making learning slow,and don't really explain things well.*ms.masby and ms.gray.The school is diverse but most students stay in a group of friends.The dances and games are always really fun to me.To be honest im ready for high school to begin!!!!!!!

I had a great time at Johnston Middle School in the early 1980s There were good school - teachers and my friends were my friends. Never a single problem. Nobody had a cell phone then - they had not been invented then.

Overall, this school comprises highly qualified teachers, but there are a few who should find another profession as they hurt the academic progress of students. A few teachers employed at this school are sarcastic, scream at students often, and put students down.Administrators do not have a clue wha...

Amazing school. Our son chose Johnston as a magnet in choir and orchestra. The teachers are very good and the GT class work is rigorous. As for the magnet classes they are even more rigorous and students who fail to comply with the high standards lose their eligibility. I know many parents are conce...
