We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The best experience I've had at James Monroe was the AP's and honors courses. They offer a wide variety of them and you can even take some online. My worst experience is that where it's located in a small town there is definitely favoritism to certain families.

Not very educational don't do very much at all in any classes. Food is commonly spoiled and is terrible. The bathrooms are constantly shut down due to kids destroying them.
