He ensured we were able to locate all of the tools in the online course to include the practice exams. His advice on how to prep for the exam was spot on. I took the exam four weeks after the class to give myself time to study and take the practice exams. I passed with above the requirements! The application help sheet was very valuable as well.

While I have not attended this school myself, I am confident in saying that it is not a good…read moreenvironment for your children. I have heard through numerous of my friends who have attended this school in the past and present that they have faced intense discrimination and bullying at OHMS. When they have approached the principal about it, she simply told them that they should have come sooner or that they couldn't do anything about it, even when the bullying was explicitly racist and queerphobic. A previous student had suffered homophobic bullying that eventually led to their death by suicide. The news did not report on this death, and the school has taken zero responsibility. My good friend left a review simply stating her experiences at this school, leading the principal to send an email to their parent implying they were mentally unwell just for leaving an honest review. Now, through my own and most recent experience, I attended the 8th grade graduation. When a student went up to speak and mentioned hurtful, discriminatory comments she had experienced in class, she was shushed promptly by a faculty member and told to "Hold." She continued her speech anyway, but whether to her own accord or through permission I am not sure. In addition, OHMS is far too expensive to be having these problems. If you want to pay good money for your child to go to a good school, do not choose this one. I promise it will do more harm than good. I do not doubt that some students have experienced goodness here and have made good memories, my own friends have made lifelong relationships through this school. But that does not excuse the unabashed discrimination. My friends have described their experience at this school as the worst years of their lives. You do not want that for your child.

I had a few EXCELLENT teachers here. Very passionate I want that to be clear. At the same time this…read moreschool will suck the life out of you. Based on my experience at Pharm Road campus: Be careful what classes you pick, there are UNOFFICIAL prerequisites. Just because you see an intro class does not mean you are not expected to already know it. I took intro to Bio because I didn't have it in high school. All I heard the entire class was "you guys should have already learned this in ___ grade". Obviously not. Not everyone has the same background in a COMMUNITY college. Basically if the teacher has to actually teach you something, you become an inconvenience. I've gotten a better quality lectures from YouTube than at JSR. This is one of those schools where if you don't get "the right" teacher then you are screwed, so you have to ask around to find out who is "good" or not. Pathetic. No one here will participate unless they are called on & even then "i dunno" is an acceptable answer in my experience. Students will just sit there & daze out like they're being FORCED to attend. This sucks for group projects. Many people smoke here also. Teachers are NOT required to use Blackboard. My Biology teacher did not post a SINGLE thing. He said it makes it "too easy" & doesn't motivate people to come to class. I had him during fall, so we got A LOT of snow days & it was a COMPLETE disaster because we had no access to schedules or assignments online. The entire grading scale to that class had to be shifted since most of us were failing anyway. The foreign language classes are computer heavy. This is not an "online class" yet most of the work will be done using online assignments or watching the same boring video over & over until you're fluent. Hit the voice icon over & over until you learn it, come to class, fill in the blank to their print out tests, rinse wash & repeat for 18 weeks. English students will complain about writing. This school is very ghetto, so using proper English will be a challenge & is often seen as real work. Expect complaints for having to write or read "too much" which in my experience were 1-3 pages. Electives are just like middle school. You go off to yourself or to your friends for 2-4 hours & teacher makes her rounds at the end of class. The Student Life department is a JOKE. I've had to listen to the assistants on the phone talking about going to Golden Corral while a line builds up in the office! The staff here is just ridiculous! My advisers & counselors were never available no matter how many times I tried to schedule an appointment. I tried a tutor & had him just go MIA on me. When I went to drop a class they tried to talk me out of it (seriously) then when I didn't give in she completely flipped it! She tried to blame me for not liking the class. Whatever, you're not getting anymore money out of my pocket, that's for sure. Also he was blasting Jay Z in his cubicle as I was talking to him, sooo yeah. CAMPUS POLICE LOVE TO WRITE TICKETS. The worst issue at PRC by far. They patrol the parking lot like they're on commission. While you are in class they will look for ANY. EXCUSE. POSSIBLE. to give you a ticket. While you're in class security will roam the lot on foot like vultures. They will even scan random plates I'VE SEEN IT. I've even seen them look under cars, in cars WHILE STUDENTS ARE IN CLASS. It's CRAZY! Eventually I too got a ticket for parking in the "fire lane" which just so happens to be the majority of the parking lot. 'Sargent' Franklin wrote me a ticket once & refused to give his name in the process. It's a long story but there is an appeals process, guess who is in charge of judging appeals? Sargent Franklin. This is the kind of backwards stupidity that goes on here. This school will mess you up. If not your education then you will be financially setback from the tickets they hand out like candy at $25 apiece, & $35 if you lose the "appeal" which you will. For some reason I've only received B's here. I got 5 of them in one semester! I looked into the statistics for JSR 2011: Graduation Rate 11%, Retention Rate 59% Transfer Rate 16% & yet more expensive than Tyler. DTC seems a lot more organized & personal. I love the Middle College program it is amazing & REALLY helpful! I get the impression the teachers are better but honestly in terms of college goes I'd avoid JSR like the plague. School is already stressful as it is and here, often, you WILL be your own teacher. You will often find yourself looking ONLINE for better lectures or reading 4-6 chapters over & over again. Can you pass JSR? Yes. If you're coming for something YOU ALREADY KNOW HOW TO DO ON YOUR OWN then yes you will pass, I've done it. If you want to get an education, love learning and overall completely motivated JSR will beat that excitement out of you, leave it in the street then ticket you for it. JSR IS A WORST CASE SCENARIO FOR AN EDUCATION. 0 STAR *Statistics source: http://1.usa.gov/Ah01No
