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.

My overall experience at JMHS was very enjoyable. Being able to go to school with my friends played a major role in my school experience. There's not many things that i would change but if I were to change something it would have to be better security.
