James Madison High SchoolReviews of jmhs.com

I’ve called the school directly, however they appear to be closed today or maybe all together due to COVID. So I’ve submitted a ticket through my account that reads as follows: I logged back in to see if I could get caught up on my past due balance...and I was surprised as well as completely baffled to see a notice threatening to send me to collections for the full amount of the tuition from these services. I am looking into filing a complaint because I just can not see how an adult can come here to further or complete there education, get struck by a global financial hardship, and in the mist of wanting to better their future instead have an online school program threaten me with collections to damage my credit. This program is obviously a scam and I am going to do my best to make this public so that no one else encounters this situation before knowing the risk. This is so ridiculous and very wrong. How can this program damage a persons credit to collect money that it is not even owed. My account has been suspended. I can see wanting to collect the amount leading up to my account suspension, but a FULL TUITION BALANCE???? This is completely unacceptable. I am going to seek legal counsel and find out any rights that I have to dispute this corrupt program. For those reading this: the school charges you monthly....low as $35.00 a month....you can only work on two lessons at a time(yet the claim it’s self paced). There’s no reason they should be after me for a full tuition of a round $2000.00.

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.

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.
