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
I was 16 when I attended here thinking it was a legit school I took the test paid 300+ for my diploma and tried to get in college the army and ect it took a my child hood away because it's not worth it I make little to nothing now so I can't even afford to pay and get my GED when I want the honor of saying I graduated from high school .. it's the worst feeling not ever being able to finish college because I have a fraudulent diploma . A few years after they called me and wanted me to pay more money to get the diploma accredited .

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.

More info:
Diploma will be first notarized by the us notary public

For all who want to know Addison high school address and phone number. 8721 Santa Monica blvd ste 1079west hollywood CA [protected]. [protected] this info came from the BBB

Let's not let these losers get away another day scamming ppl !please join with me to get back at the scammers also post the info every where u can
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.

scam
Hi my name is Shante and Im here to tell everybody about Adison High School. That school is full of ###. They are scamers. They sent me a bunch junk from them after i paid 300.00 dollars for my diploma. I can't get in any online colleges and i am so pissed. I was reading other people on here talking about Adison High School and how they ###ed over them to. I think we need to take action as soon as possible.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I got the "high school diploma" from Adison High School and then I tried to apply for college and I was rejected because they would not accept the transcripts because they were not legit. AHS sent me copies of my transcripts with my diploma, but the colleges would not accept them because they had to be in a sealed envelope from the school. I then called AHS to have them send the college a copy of my transcript and they charged me and extra $50 on top of the $299 I have already paid them for a piece of paper that is worthless. DO NOT give them a dime of your money. They are a scam.
I talked to them about getting my money back for this waste of time. They told me that I would need to get a rejection letter sent to them form the college i applied for. I asked them for a mailing address to have the letter send to and they told me that because they are a online high school that they are not required to have a mailing address. They also told me that their administration office is in Huston, Tx. I asked the lady for a address and/or a telephone number, she then say that she doesn't have one for them. I'm willing 100% to sign anything to help press charges and get them shut down.
Do not use this site for a diploma.It is a SCAM.I took the test today, and it said I passed with flying colors basically.I was skeptical of the site so I researched it.I saw that a lot of people were scammed and were unable to use this diploma.I decided to go under a fictitious name .I randomly answered the questions and passed with a higher GPA .I knew that the answers were grossly wrong it literally took me 5 minutes to take the test.I called the place and of course they denied any wrong doing.I told them what I did and they said it was impossible, I told them obviously not because I did it and I told them that I was reporting them to the BBB of Houston, that is where they are stationed.I filed a report today and thank god I was smart enough not to give them my $300
So hopefully this will help someone else from getting scammed...and the people who did I would get a lawyer or file a complaint as well with the BBB ...If there is enough complaints, maybe we can put them out of business and get them off the web...DONT USE ADISON HIGH SCHOOL for your diploma or any online schools for that matter..."Heed the Warning"
i have been scam by this school. they gave me a fake diploma. and they took $299.00 buks from me. i been trying to get in to school like a well know UEI, ITT Tech and Wyotech. Im having problems getting into this schools cuz of a fake diploma. Now i need to go back to a real school to get real GED.
This place is a scam. My son went to go to a pa job corp. They asked if he had a diploma and we gave it to them. They laughed at us. They said it isn't worth the paper it was written on. They showed me all the disputes against Addison and when I called and confronted them they hung up on me and my husband. I called the BBB and their is alot against Addison and I also contacted a lawyer to see what I can do... This is sad that this place is aloud to scam people and in ways ruin peoples lives... I hope that they get shut down and forced to repay people... I know the money isn't the issue, but it will hopefully teach these scums that you don't play with peoples lives!
I agree its a scam...my daughter and i have been ripped off and i'm pissed...none english speaking MF's
I can't believe they are such a rippoff... They give you a test, you spend your time then your money for a worthless piece of paper...
Rite! I just completed an test online and I was talking to a chat person and I asked for an full address and Zip code and they wouldn't release it to me. I played before from an online school. I payed for everything and when I tried to use the diploma for colleges I couldn't get in anywhere! I think all these fake online schools should be prohibited from the internet access.
TO U 6274 U ARE A LIAR OR SOMEONE PAID U TO LIE U CAN NOT GET IN TO THE UNIVERSITY OF PHENIX WITH AHS DIPLOMAS POINT BLANK PERIOD! BECAUSE I APPLYIED THEIR AND I AM A AHS GRADUATE AND THE UNIVERSITY OF PHENIX DID NOT ACCEPT ME DUE TO AHS IS NOT ACCREDITED!
@Digz: Are you upset because you passed the test even though you tried very hard to fail? As you said you did not pay them any money then whats the harm? You took a free test which you passed where is the scamming part?
high school diploma

I paid 300.00 hundred dollors to study on line for my high school diploma and it was a scam and I want my money back
I recieved this diploma over a year ago I paid $300 for it. I guess it was kinda weird when they sent a bunch of awards and bumper stickers along with the diploma. well any way I just tried to sign up for college and was laughed at.. so I called adison and the man on the phone told me to have the school call him and he will answer any questions they may have... 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
Ok so this is a old post but if anyone is still looking to bust theses # wipes, I paid for this crap too.

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 diploma
I have been trying to get a refund on my daughter diploma for 5 weeks. They keep telling me that it is being refunded into my bank account and it isnt. I call back and they tell me that I didnt give them correct onformation, I gave it again and they said it was being put back, This has went on for several weeks now and I still havent recieved any money back, The diplomas are worthless. The community college in my town sent them a letter telling them that it is not acceptable. Please do not use this place, It is a fraud...
Reason why momy dearest is doing this Jason Tillo is that I am the one that paid the money for it after she was homebound due to a car accident. Since it is my money that has been taken, then I am the one complaining. As for my high school education, my not being able to spell doesnt bother me, and since I am the one that thought her worthless diploma was real then I am the stupid one, in that you are correct. The only thing my daughter did was try to better herself at the scams of high schools on line. But since you know everything and so much, I can only assume you are probably part of the scam... Good day to you !

Yep, burned me too, just found out.
[protected] guys call the federal trade commission office and make complaints and give them all your proof about this scam
I did the online high diploma . Had a great job Full benefits and all. Then fine out it was a scam. My employer was nice to keep me but I got move to the kitchen. I have called these people so many times .I did get my 300.00 back, But I payed them a lot more to get my papers certified and I got a associated degree with them to that no good. All of this has happen since 2009. So I'm in a GED class know so I can keep my job .😢😢😢😢
[protected] Call this number and make a complaint and spread the word though Facebook and twitter we have to bring publicity to this matter
I agree I just finished the test and passed it but the rates went from $396 to $468 to $501 ! Like really this seemed fake from initially receiving their e-mail saying that I passed the exam without even taking the exam! and right after I get a call from a guy with a thick accent saying that If I don't pay right there and then during their happy hour I would have to pay $599! Asking me for my SS# & credit card information! But I wasn't that stupid to fall for their scam! And I suggest neither of you or anyone out their pay that price for the easy way out and fake!

I just finished the test have not gave them any money but they are real pushie is it real or what
What I can believe is people actually think going to an online high school will get you into a college. You have to go to school like everyone else in the world

fraud
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.
