The office staff are rude and always seem like they are anxious to get me off the phone or out of the office. The principal needs more experience. School looks and is run like a prison.

In my experience, the teachers cuss at the students they don't stay after the kids to even do their class work. They let the kids leave the school even Tho they are to be riding buses. As a single mom this does not give you piece of mind while at work. DO BETTER

James Madison is an okay school. My daughter only had 1 teacher she liked. She did not learn anything in english and health was a waste. Non honers and honers are mixed in health and P.E. so she and the other honers students didn't learn anything since the rest of the class would act up. The principal of JMMS was very kind but the front desk staff could have been more greeting. Also, they put way too much pressure on the kids for SOLs, and so at the end of the year all teachers are very mean. My daughter said she wanted to switch to WWMS because she hated it so much. Other than that, it was a below moderate school
