James Madison High School Reviews 

As far as having "trouble" getting accepted into a college. I'm enrolled fine, they had no questions or suspicion about my diploma. I can honestly say, I really miss James Madison. I loved their layout and course fluidity. I can honestly say I hate the course layout that my current college is using. I'm so used to James Madison's layout and how easy it was. James Madison helped me so much with my high school years. I wouldn't have gotten where I am today without the program. The best program I could have ever been a part of.

First off, I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL TO ANYONE. SUCH HORRIBLE SERVICE ! I am beyond upset with their service. Recently I withdrew my daughter out of this school because I didn't like how they don't offer advanced classes ANNND because this scam school doesn't go by grades ! I was going to enroll my daughter in WAYYY better school so I requested my daughters transcripts, I told them to send her transcripts by email, that way I would receive them faster. They told me and I quote "The estimated time it'll take to send them is 2-3 days." 2-3 DAYS, JUST TO SEND AN EMAIL ? Unfortunately I had to wait and I still NEVER received my daughter's transcripts. I called once again and they told me the EXACT SAME THING . I then again waited and I still NEVER GOT THEM ! What a shame. I called again for the very last time and they said they supposedly "sent them". I still have NOT received my daughters transcripts. They just wasted my time, how hard is it just to send a transcript ? ALSO, their waiting time is ridiculous, this school had me waiting so many times, every time I spoke to someone for help they seemed as if they didn't know CRAP. This school is a total scam. They only care about YOUR MONEY, nothing else. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL TO ANYONE !!

If I could give a zero I would. This school does not inform you that your child credits does not transfer over. My son was doing assignments that he didn’t even need o finish school. Then they force you to pay the remaining balance to get a transcript. They are scammers and I advise you not to use them if you have already attended a school prior to attending them bc they do not use your child’s previous transcript to determine what your child needs to graduate. I will never use them ever again. They withheld this information when signing him up for this program only for there financial gain. I am totally dissatisfied and will not recommend them to a fly.

To the comment that read: the diploma is not accepted by colleges or the military...NOT TRUE. I was accepted into the Navy, The Army, and The Air Force with my diploma and served 10 years. I was also accepted into major Universities both state, private, and community college.

I signed up to take a class and paid, never heard from them again. None of my login info works. Try resetting password? Doesn't work. I tried sending a reset link to my email. They never send it. I called their 'help line'. There were no humans to talk to. This is without a doubt a scam. It's not just money that I lost. I was planning my whole high school math path around taking pre calculus this summer. Now I'll have to take it at school and I'll never be able to take calc BC. I'm super upset.

I Took my final exam in math and showed my work in the doc I was sent, to my suprise I made a 10, and it’s because I didn’t show my HAND WRITTEN PROOF. This is a poor excuse for a school and garbage like this has been happening to me since I was enrolled.

Terrible. I joined in June, the courses take forever to close, it s hard to get in touch with teachers and when you do they are often rude or unhelpful. I have had a terrible experience with this school. I was supposed to graduate This June a year from when i started but i didn't, they held me back by never getting back to me of closing my courses when i needed them to. Seems like they just want another annual pay check out of my folks. If you are looking for a good online high school for your kids i would not recommend this one. It may be cheap but you get what you pay for. Invest in a real education for your kids.

The Online High School is a SCAM! Do NOT register with them! I called them to ask some questions and they quickly asked for my card number and registered my son. Then they asked me to send my son's transcripts and we sent them. My son has completed his high school up to grade 11 at a physical high school and he wanted to do his 12th grade online. So they registered him in grade 12. Then, when his profile was activated, we noticed that he is required to do his 9th, 10th, and 11th grades again, although my son has been a high achiever and got A all throughout his school!

We asked them to remove 9, 10, 11 grades courses and they said sorry we cannot! Then I cancelled his registration because they look to have a really ridiculous system of education. Then, I asked for cancellation and refund, but they are asking for cancellation fee although my son has done nothing yet with this school and we have already paid so much money to them! SCAM! They probably know that no one in his right mind would stay with their stupid system and they are making money out of registration and cancellation fees!

Poor Decision
When I was initially sold on this school, I was told by admissions that I can immediately start enrollment and coursework. Had I known this wasn't correct, I would have kept my child enrolled in school while he waits for the whole transcript process to take place. The former school immediately faxed over the transcripts but I spoke to Laura in Student Services (very rude, callus to the whole process, and not helpful - sounded as if she was fresh out of high school herself) and she informed me that it would take 10 business days for the transcript to be evaluated and that I had other students ahead of me. I asked to speak with a supervisor and she told me that "Breanne" is in a meeting and she will submit a ticket for her to follow up with me. Didn't even tell me how long she would respond back. I was constantly having to ask when and how. Not real customer savvy and rather disappointing. In the meantime, my child is in limbo, anxiously waiting to start his courses. I wish I would've had more time to research this school's process before enrolling. I'll see what this supervisor "Breanne" will say but if this school is about money and not invested in the students then my child doesn't belong in this program.

Because JMS is a self-paced institution, in some cases the child can attend JMS after the age of 18, making the custodial parent eligible for child support beyond the child's 18th birthday due to being a student. The catch is - The Attorney General (AG) wants to know if the child is a full-time student or not and JMS does NOT report full-time or part-time. They report "active or inactive". The AG's office will deny the custodial parent continuation of child support based on "active or inactive" status. I spoke to JMS about this and what they do to comply with the requirements of the AG and I was told "active or inactive" is already pre-loaded on the form they send to the AG's office and cannot be changed!

They dont help you with the work. They lied to you and tell you its at your own paced. When enroll you'll have so much to much. In so little time. I wouldn't dare recommend this school its a joke. Even afterwards they still try to get money from you.

I like how the diploma i earned from james madison online high school excepted in most universities and colleges here in the state i live in (MD). Evey time i had problem studying, failing course or or any reason that i have to call jms the representatives were really nice and helpful.

Bahamians please DO NOT CONSIDER this school. Poor Service.At face value it great however everything is automated, the service when provided by a person is not of good quality, and customer service is NOT their priority. They'd gladly take your money 1st though, with no regard of service.

Textbooks take up to 5 months to receive after course is opened. Currently waiting on 2 textbooks. Customer service is near non-existent and rude. Online "ticket" submissions for support are always closed as "resolved" with no resolution addressed or in sight. Very disappointed with this school.

My experience with JMHS was Phenomenal, the staff were great. Since graduating from their fine institute, I have received more job opportunities and advancement in my career to benefit myself. I would highly recommend those who are serious in making a change to attend JMHS.

We have home schooled fora few years through various programs. This is by far the absolute worst program I have seen. The customer service is terrible. It takes a minimum of a week to get anything resolved and the typical answer is "the system will not allow us to do that." My son was in the middle of Spanish II when they took his course off line. After two week, they loaded a new course and said they changed the book so he would need to start over! That was after working on Spanish II for 6 weeks! After arguing with them for numerous days, they finally transferred his work over to the new course so he didn't have to start over. When we contacted his math teacher for help, she referred us to a power point that she had done.
When I contacted her and said we couldn't hear her speak, she doesn't speak on the power point videos because her dogs are too loud. So the geometry videos have no sound. Run as fast as you can from this school.

My overall experience has been great! I started this program long ago while I was a minor, fell behind on my payments and halted my education. Months later of Having my daughter I immediately wanted to continue my education, I needed to prove to my daughter that an education is very important. Once I renrolled everything went great, the teachers were fantastic; there was maybe two teachers that I had trouble with getting in touch with in a timely manner but that issue was resolved. The school prepares you for college and I cannot thank James Madison High School enough for their awesome faculty geered to help their students in any way. As excited and proud that I am, I am a JMHS 2019 Graduate. I recommend this school to anyone looking to continue their education, though times may be overwhelming but it’s well worth it.

I would not recommend this school to anyone. they give no help. i was promised tutoring if needed and multiple other things. No one emails back or calls back!! all they care about is money!

The school itself isn't bad at all... The only problem (which isn't really a problem) is that the classes aren't live, they don't even have live lessons once a week anymore.
