John Adams High School Accreditation

Hi,
I received my high school diploma online through a school called John Adams High School, the school is accredited by different accreditors. I am not familiar with what type of accreditations colleges will accept, and I am hoping someone who is familiar with this can help me. The school is accredited with National Commission of Accredited
Schools, Washington, DC. This is also on their website in regards to their program being accredited:I
s John Adams High School Accredited?

A. John Adams High School is fully accredited by:

National Commission of Accredited Schools
Farragut Office Center
1725 I Street NW
Suite 300
Washington District of Columbia 20006

We are also registered with the Florida Department of Education and the Florida State Department. All course of instruction is taught by State Licensed Teachers. We comply with all State and Federal Regulations. Our student population resides in all regions of the world, and at last count, residing in over 60 nations. ALL of our services are conducted via electronic delivery means, with NO RESIDENCY requirements. This is the reason we can do what we do for such reasonable fees. The idea of centralized government control over higher education in the United States was rejected in favor of a system of voluntary regional accreditation organizations. Membership in any one of the several U.S. accrediting associations is strictly voluntary. These regional accrediting associations are privately owned and operated and are NOT owned or operated by the U.S.
Government or the U.S. Department of Education. John Adams High School has partnered with FLVS to provide curriculum and instruction for our students. The Florida Virtual School is a recognized leader in online education and is fully accredited by CITA (Commission on International and Trans-Regional Accreditation) and (SACS) Southern Association Council on Accreditation and School Improvement

I wish someone could verify if any of these accreditors are worthy for me to be accepted to a college? Please help!!!
Thank you!

From there website:

We cannot guarantee who will accept your JAHS diploma. We know there is a high level of acceptance for the JAHS diploma and credits, but acceptance is not up to us; it is the decision of the other party. Acceptance levels for a JAHS diploma has been strong.

I don't think anyone can tell you what schools will accept a diploma from here.
