Mrs. Willard does the most with what she has. James Madison was built in the early 20th century and the building has been maintained beautifully even without needed renovations. Historically the school has not received proper funding to compete with some of the more affluent schools, but over the year Mrs. Willard has been able to obtain help from organizations to offer more to her students. Madison now has a serious early college program, they're also working with NAF to provide students with IT skills, and the school has just received a large Bond for a much needed overhaul of its facilities & programs. I have no doubt in the capabilities of their Principal and even though it may not translate to online forums, there's a lot of pride that comes with being apart of The 'Great' James Madison High School's family.

This 'school' lacks discipline. While my heart breaks for the students who want to learn something, I cannot abide such belligerent insubordination from the majority. Parents, insist administration provide a quality learning environment.

My School Is So Blessed and intelligent. Our Principle is very well kept and responsible.
