School Overview

Peter Johansen High sits in the eastern part of Modesto, a working-class Central Valley city where families tend to be practical and community-rooted. The school's scores fall in the lower quarter statewide, so academically driven families may want to look closely at course offerings and extracurriculars before enrolling. That said, Modesto has a strong sense of local pride, and families who are active in their kids' education and willing to supplement at home often find ways to make any school work for them.
