GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

James Madison Preparatory School has changed my life for the better. It is a small school community but we still bring a bunch of school spirit. We are all supportive of each other. The school's primary focus is for each of its students to learn and grow and overall become better people. JMPS prepares its students for their future. Overall, I am proud to say it's my school. It makes me feel right at home, just like any school should.

My experience at James Madison Preparatory School was okay. The atmosphere is decent but very chaotic because it is a small campus. Class sizes are small which is a plus but can get very annoying very fast. What I would change about it would be that the school needs to evolve with time instead of being old school by moving more online like how college really is.

Incredible school- my son was involved at James Madison from the earliest chance he got, and he took every opportunity that JMPS offered; academically, athletically, the arts, community service... He found a number of new interests and passions, and set some aside after trying them. One of the goals...

I’ve never experienced a school with so much care for each student. My son transferred to JMPS part way through high school, and this was the first school who truly saw his potential. He is a very smart student and had no trouble keeping up with the rigorous academics, but he did not see college in...
