Johnson High is in Hays CISD and earned a 6/10 rating from Great School’s as of October 2026. The campus sits at 4260 FM 967 in Buda’s 78610 zip code and serves 9th through 12th grade. No high school zones changed in Hays CISD’s January 2026 rezoning, so Johnson’s 2026-27 zone is the same as last year; the rezoning did move Turners Crossing from McCormick to Dahlstrom Middle School, but both feed Johnson. About two-thirds of the zone comes through McCormick Middle School and one-third through Dahlstrom Middle School. Scroll down to read more about homes near Moe and Gene Johnson High School.

GreatSchools and TEA measure different things. GreatSchools weighs test results against schools with similar student populations, while TEA’s rating, below, is the state’s official accountability measure.
Academic Performance: Texas Education Agency Accountability Rating
In TEA’s 2025-26 accountability ratings, released in August 2026, Moe and Gene Johnson High School earned an overall B with a score of 88. That is up 2 points from a B (86) in 2024-25. Johnson has been a B campus in every rated year since 2021-22, scoring 88 in 2021-22, 82 in 2022-23 and 86 in 2023-24.
- Overall TEA Rating (2025-26): B (88)
- Student Achievement: B, 87 out of 100 (based on STAAR performance, college, career and military readiness, and graduation rate)
- School Progress: B, 85 out of 100 (Academic Growth B/80, Relative Performance B/85)
- Closing the Gaps: A, 90 out of 100
- Prior Overall Ratings: B (88) in 2021-22, B (82) in 2022-23, B (86) in 2023-24, B (86) in 2024-25

Under TEA’s scale, an A reflects exemplary performance, B is recognized, C is acceptable, D needs improvement, and F is unacceptable. For high schools, Student Achievement combines STAAR results with college, career and military readiness (CCMR) and graduation rates; Johnson earned a B (87) in 2025-26, up from 84. Its CCMR score rose to 90 from 86, and from 66 in 2022-23. School Progress was a B (85), with Academic Growth improving from a C (75) to a B (80) and Relative Performance, which compares results with schools serving similar shares of economically disadvantaged students, at 85. Closing the Gaps, which measures results for student groups, earned an A (90) after a 92 the year before. Johnson earned distinctions in Mathematics, Comparative Academic Growth and Comparative Closing the Gaps in 2021-22 and none since, and the campus is not identified for state improvement support.
