JMHS is a school with great potential. It does have many assets, its academics and strong support system for those who'll advocate. However, I find the culture to be parasitic, the halls unwelcoming and all in all a very racist and homophobic school for the progressive area. Guess these kids are just spewing what the hear in the privacy of their homes. Real unfortunate.

I had an enjoyable expirence at Madison High School. My biggest issue was the lack of field space as an athlete. Besides that, there were no major issues I experienced as a student there.

I love attending James Madison High School. I have been on the debate team, the varsity tennis team, and been involved in my clubs which align well with my interests. I have made so many lovely people here and the teachers do an incredible job teaching the students by staying connected to us and making sure we are prepared for college.
