It is possible that you might be able to get some of your money back, this will depend on the circumstances and on the school
Are there any lists that I can refer to that highlight any complaints that have been made against a school?

You could also check with the agency that accredits the school, to see if the school meets the required standards
Is there such a thing as useful statistics for a school?
