JMU seemed like another NOVA high school on the tour. Grade 13 my DD says it’s called. I really am glad she didn’t end up there. Not sure about the happiness factor, but if your DC liked high school looks like a good continuation. [/quote]

What HS has 720 acres and 20,000 students?  If a kid goes to JMU and it feels like grade 13, that’s on them.  It’s not a feature of the school.[/quote]

The PP is the usual malcontent who has some kind of weird hangup about JMU.  It's a great school full of smart and nice students.  I guess that annoys some people.[/quote]

Absolutely no disrespect to you or JMU, but for students of NOVA hs, JMU does have the reputation of being high school 2.0. It’s a great school with great students, but many of the kids trend to be the same “type” that maybe go to college and hang out with the same group at JMU. You see it in the parents pics from tailgates etc. There is nothing wrong with this, but for kids that want to sorta start fresh or not see the same groups/ JMU as seen as a school to avoid.

Hmm.  I've had two kids attend JMU and both said they *never* saw anyone from high school, unless they sought them out (which they didn't).

I second this. My daughter never sees the other 5 or 6 students from high school, and she absolutely loves it there. [/quote]
