You all are wrong about Ashworth! It's not as bad as you say... I enrolled my Daughter in James Madison High School because she has been Home schooled since she was in the second grade. I wanted her to have a High School Diploma just in case in the future she wants to go to College she will have a Diploma that is recognized as legitimate. She has received nothing less than a "B" for her Final grades and she has basically completed all her Subjects within a year! I feel that she will be able to go on and achieve anything she wants in her Life! My only issue with Ashworth is the fact that they won't allow you to receive more than 2 Subjects at a time and if you owe a payment they won't ship out any new Subject's until your balance is paid up to date but, you know if I wanted to ensure I received my money I probably wouldn't ship out more books either until the bill was paid up to date! Overall, it has been a really good experience for all of us! The Halls

Ashworth High School new learning system is not good. When I first signed up, I was doing great and all of sudden they changed the learning system around 2012. Now my grades are bad and I have to read a boring textbook online with know videos. I use to learn from some of there lessons in the past , but now Im not learning anything. This school use to have good lessons and now they dont care to teach anymore. Dont sign up up to this school unless you dont mind reading boring textbooks online. They uses to have fun quzzies and videos to help you learn and now its read and take exam and fail!

Asworth High School The school used to have a far superior curriculum with interesting videos, interactive practice and teacher feedback. Now they are obviously cutting corners as all they offer is an online textbook and some very poorly written tests. No feedback and no help studying the very boring text. But the worse part is that although they changed the curriculum and have tests full of errors, they will not give a refund. So this family learned our lesson the hard way...don't EVER pay in full to get a paltry discount because you will regret it. This school is a farce and I do NOT recommend it to anyone!

Great School Let me say that Ashworth College is a great Schoool. I completed my Career Diploma in Forensic Science in June 2011 and I have already been transferred to the Forensic Lab of the Police Force here in Jamaica. I am also finishing my first semester of my A.Sc in Security Management and its going very well so far. The DETC accreditation is very much recognized here in Jamaica so I intend to do my B.Sc in Criminal Justice with them. As for Masters it will definitely be at a Regional Accredited School (American Military University)... Great School.. I would recommend it to someone who is look for an affordable, accredited and self paced online studies.

Good School I graduated from Ashworth High School in 2009. When I first enrolled, it was under the name James Madison High. The name change did not disturb my studies. Experience-wise, the school allowed me to finish my HS diploma and I was moving around frequently. They are regionally accredited and I am currently in college. My only complaint is, "wheres the teachers"? "Self Paced" seems to mean, do your own research. I enjoyed it, but I would have liked some help.

Beyond Frustrated Where to even start. Ok firstly, I was sixteen when I originally became a student of James Madison Highschool, now Ashworth. I decided to take homeschool due to alot of personal traumas leading to my poor performance in highshcool. My mother decided on the school and against my better judgement enrolled me into JMHS and paid the down payment (i had to pay the additional 700 of the 900 they were asking just to earn a diploma). Now I can say at that time I had no problems receiving any materials and my assignments were graded properly, etc. So I finish all of my information, send in my last assignment, double check with the school to make sure I had nothing else I needed to send in. Everything is complete and I should receive my diploma in the mail within 30 days, at least that is what im told. Not the case. I moved out of state around two weeks after completing my work. I ended up doing alot of traveling as well and assumed my parents would hold on to my diploma while I was out of the country. Well now im back in the states and had to provide my diploma to get into college. Long story short my parents never received it!! I have now been on the phone with this company numerous times (if I can even get through) They told me I was missing 4 assignments. Luckly I saved all of my graded assignments and have faxed and emailed copies of these supposed never received assignments to the school with no result. At this point i cant even log into my student account on their website. Its now telling me I dont even exist!!! As most of you I have had the same problems with getting someone on the phone and with their customer service. At this time all im getting is unreturned phone calls and automated emails whenever I email them. I have hired an attorney and I am currently working to have this school shut down by the BBB. What a waste of my time and almost $1000. Dont waste your time or your money!!!!!!
