James Madison High SchoolReviews of jmhs.com

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.
