Adison High School reviews and complaints
"Diploma"
After getting a diploma from them in 2012 I finally decided to go take some college courses. To my surprise it's no good and now I have to go get my ged before I can start. And of course the website doesn't work or any of the emails. Unfortunately I did not catch this in time. I just hope I save someone else the grief that I am going through trying to further my education.
Desired outcome: That they stop taking advantage of people that are trying to better themselves
adison high school
They are not accredited at all. Lies Lies Lies.. I got their diploma so I could go to technical college and they said it was not accredited and the Us Department of Education would not accept it . Waste of money. I want a refund. Very displeased. Why lie to people about being accredited? Very phony. All this Adison High School does is cheat people out of their money. I want my money back.
diploma

This company failed to mention that to have your transcripts sent to an institution is an additional $50.00. They claim they will verify your documents but that's it.
They are pairing with another school and want another $300. to get the new diploma issue with Southbrook academy. There are several employees from Adison School calling the previous graduates for them to pay the additional money and the new school will issue you guys a new diploma.

This seems like a pretty vague complaint to me. What is the grievance here. It seems more personal than logical.
scam diploma worth nothing not even the paper it was wrote on
I graduate from Adison High School in 2008. Hoping to go to college so I could make a better life for me and my family . Only to find out that no college accpects them. Talked to a couple of people there with not much success . I really wish I knew all this about them before I enrolled and paid the money for it. I have had colleges actually let me enroll just to tell me when I am almost done with my first term that they don't accept my high school diploma and kicked me out and to call them after I get my GED. I am a working mom of 6 children all I wanted to do is try to get an education so I could get a better life for my family and me.

scam/fraud
I received my"high school diploma" from Adison High School in 2007. Recently I applied for a Government job and was rejected to attend Police Academy due to my "diploma" not being legit or accredited. I called Adison High School and was hung up on, cursed at and they would never give me a legitiment fax number, address or anything to provide for my employer. I am here to let everyone know, DO NOT...I repeat myself, DO NOT...fall into this scam. I am now a single mother with no job because these people have no care for humanity or the fact that they are taking people's hard earned money. They are far from remorseful. I wish I would have checked into this before spending the money and now being jobless. I have to now, get my GED and have lost my position as to where I was employed. These people make me sick and should be sued for fraud!
Adison is nice when they are trying to sell you their acreditation, but when you confront them for information to submit to college or employment they are nasty and dont care. I called them and asked where is the school based and one person would not give me a location while another one told me houston texas. and when i told then the school did not show up they told me they did not care.

I will not do that I dont want to embarrass myself anymore the point of this is... dont do it scam scam scam

They really fooled me. After my grandson took the test and past it, he was so excited. For me to have to tell him that it was a scam. These people should be hung by there toes. For 4 weeks after he took the test I kept calling them. Either they didn't have an answer to where his diploma is or they lied about the post office. It was one excuse after another. Or they were so ruid on the phone. Something needs to be done with this school. Angry in Florida

Im 18 years old, yes the man almost got me but I actually went to a real high school and I managed to maintain a 3.3 g. p. a. so I was not so stupid to play his inmature child ish games when I saw this website and told him about all the complaints' he said that it was just propaganda. I was so mad at the time I told him to take 2 steps back and # himself. I told him if this is so easy then explain to me that why is it when the g. e. d. est only cost $75 to take and the test is a little mor intermidiate. and the adison high school equivalent test cost $300 to take and any person dumber than a box of rocks can pass it. this just really upsets me because they target young individuals and brain wash them into receiving a liget diploma. this is bull # it's so wrong to # with peoples mind like this. if they were standing in front of me I would beat the # out of them, (sorry) for the language.
In april 2009 my daughter and I both were able to get our high school diplomas through adison high school online. we had asked them continually if they were accredited so that my daughter could enter the air force and I could go to college they repeatedly told us that they were and if there were any questions to feel free to call them we called them once after my daughters recruiter said that she couldn’t use that diploma to get into the military they then asked for the military to call them in which they were told them that it was up top them to use the diploma. I called them again after being told that I could not attend kaplan university because they are not an accredited high school with the us department of education and that they are not regionally accredited. I called adison high school and asked them for a refund and asked why I was not informed of their lack of accreditation they told me that they had to have a letter from the college stating that they wont accept me (apparently this is what is told to many customers after finding out they are not accredited) and that I should have done my homework. I will only get a refund with a letter from the college and military. kaplan does not wan to get involved. I paid for mine and my daughters and want a refund for both back. my daughter has missed her high school graduation and will never have that back and I have to attend a different school this has impacted our lives and they will never know how bad. (my daughter was so upset and hurt that she had a breakdown and ended up having a relapsed and is back in rehab) this company never informed us of their lack of accreditation and took us for our money. I have filed a complaint agianst this company and ask that you do too. if you know anyone else who has had this happen to them please pass it on. http://www.bbb.org/
Myself and my sister both took this so called program. I have applied with many college's and was told this school was not the right accrediation to attend college. everytime I called I get the run around and attitude. my suggestion is to call the better business b/c I truly will. I have 5 kids and no money to give away I think this school is a bunch of s.. t.
It is embarrasing. We went through same thing and the college sent them a letter stating it was not acceptable. And they said they would refund the money, that it has been processed, but we have not seen anything...

Thank god i'm reading this ...I was doing the test when i got a phone call from a old friend who is a teacher at a real school. He mentioned that it was great to hear i'm getting a high school diploma. But i should check and do some home work. Which i did... looks like i have all you guys to thank i called the school and talked to some guy that sounded like he was reading a scripted. I knew it was all ###. He even said that if i was to have people make a personal website about me and making complaints would i believe it. lol I feel like calling the ### back and giving him a peice of my foot shoved sideways up his ###. So with respect to that f*** adison high school.
yes the man almost got me but i actually went to a real high school and i managed to maintain a 3.3 G.P.A. SO I WAS NOT SO STUPID TO PLAY HIS INMATURE CHILD ISH GAMES WHEN I SAW THIS WEBSITE AND TOLD HIM ABOUT ALL THE COMPLAINTS' HE SAID THAT IT WAS JUST PROPAGANDA. I WAS SO MAD AT THE TIME I TOLD HIM TO TAKE 2 STEPS BACK AND ### HIMSELF. I TOLD HIM IF THIS IS SO EASY THEN EXPLAIN TO ME THAT WHY IS IT WHEN THE G.E.D. EST ONLY COST $75 TO TAKE AND THE TEST IS A LITTLE MOR INTERMIDIATE. AND THE ADISON HIGH SCHOOL EQUIVALENT TEST COST $300 TO TAKE AND ANY PERSON DUMBER THAN A BOX OF ROCKS CAN PASS IT. THIS JUST REALLY UPSETS ME BECAUSE THEY TARGET YOUNG INDIVIDUALS AND BRAIN WASH THEM INTO RECEIVING A LIGET DIPLOMA.
high school diploma scam
Adison High School is a scam, if you fail the test they will allow you re-take the test again and give the correct answers. It's to good to be true. The so called consular will call you to try attempt to collect a payment I knew its was a scam any one can have a 1800 number so please be aware. If you are seeking your diploma its best for you to go to a local college in your area like I'm going to do. Good Luck

Adison high school oline diplomas are a fraud. They won't give you an address and they charge 299.00 for a diploma that isn't worth 1 cent. They send fraudulant papers and diploma. When you call to talk to someone about it they won't let you talk and hang up. They will say anything about their diplomas to sell them. You can't use them for military, colleges or even jobs, but they will assure you that you can all they need is someone to call and they will verify that it is good, but it actually isn't. We are trying to get help to get these people out of business so if anyone has any information please complain on this site. They give a false address so we could sire use some help.
My daughter got a "diploma" from them in 2009. Now 11 years later we find out the school was a scam and is now defunct! She will now have to go and take the GED and we wasted $300! I'm am absolutely livid!
I used it to get into college at Npc it worked but certain jobs won't except it Me, MY mother and one of my sister's Got them my sister just recently enrolled back in school with the same diploma I DNT know we live in Arkansas.
If anyone is here call the federal trade commission office [protected]-4357make a complaint
I went through them in September 2009 & paid $300 for a diploma. I been trying to get in a college since & nobody will accept me! I would like to get my money back!
Call the federal trade commission [protected] make complaint spread the word give them all information you know
I took this test at 18 got my diploma and right after that got my cosmetology license, of course I didn't think anything was wrong. Being 24 and now with a daughter I decided to go back to school. As I'm registrating for classes they come in to tell me I have to take the GED coarse before attending because my "diploma" is FAKE! I don't know how these people can get away with ruining so many peoples lives! THEY HAVE TO BE STOPPED!
Ok, I hear every one. So my question is after the compliant with BBB what was done. Was there a suit? Did anyone get their money back, what? I too was a victim, just found out I can't be promoted in my job because I have no GED?
I too got my ged through this school and a few months later, i received a call saying that the certificate was no good and that i had to pay $285.00 to have them verified. Well never the less i hit the roof, told the person off and the initial $300.00 i spent was gone...
Okay so does anyone know how I can get another copy of the diploma, I understand its fake but I need a copy atleast to show my probation officer. if anyone knows how to help please let me know. mcoulon21@gmail.com
i couldn't use this diploma for nothing not even for a technical school. and i try to call them and nothing.thts mess up.
Same thing as everyone else. Took a test for a diploma back in 2007, joined the military at 18 with it. Now attempt to go to school and find out it's a fake. So I call the school, they tell me I need to pay an extra $175 to have it updated and re-accredited through the Department of Education. I tell them that I don't have the money right now, the "Indian" dude goes on to tell me that I have one week then my records will be deleted. They couldn't give any good information, ### customer service, awful and disrespectful considering the people who do this are fellow most likely low class citizens trying to get a leg up. Something needs to be done.
Here is an example conversation I had with the online operator/counselor...
""""You are now chatting with 'Robert Neil'.
Fermin: International Accreditation committee of online schools? Can you explain to me what that is?
Robert Neil:it means we are nationally accredited and diplomas are accepted in all 50 states of US
Fermin: But for some reason the address for IACOOS is the same as Adison High School?
Fermin: What about the United States Department of Education?
Fermin: I'm just looking for a good online school
Robert Neil:this is the best online high school
Fermin: You guys are accredited through an accreditation committee that is located in the same building?
Robert Neil:once you have the diploma you wont be facing any problems
Robert Neil:No
Fermin: The address is the same for IACOOS as it is for Adison High School
Robert Neil:that might be a mistake and i will check it right away
Fermin: I just looked for the IACOOS and there is no such thing.
Fermin: Could you send me a link to the commissions website?
Robert Neil:i make sure i check it to see what the problem is
Robert Neil:when were you graduated?
Fermin: Could you send me a link to the commissions website?
Fermin: I haven't graduated yet just looking for a good online school.
Robert Neil:Once you complete your program you will be receiving everything in the mail
Fermin: I'm assuming your name isn't Robert is it, because you type like an idiot, have no grammar skills, and cannot even answer my questions.
Robert Neil:sorry about that
Robert Neil:if you don't mind can i ask one of my Councillors to give you a call and explain everything in a better way?
Robert Neil:had a long day that's why i think i couldn't assist you in a proper way.
