I loved this school I had a really fun time and I learned a lot. The teachers where always helpful and very nice. I would definitely recommend trying to go to this school before it closes down.

Parents are better off teaching kids themselves. Absolutely tedious scheduling system that requires parents to go online often and on time every Sunday to secure a spot. Instructors expect kids to come with lots of practice even before the first class. Very disappointing experience. Read Less

Rob B.Outstanding  school ,had all 3 of my kids in this school . Instructors were very knowledgeable  and helpful. Tons of drives were available  during the summer. Didn't  mind having  to  spend  a  little  time  in the parking  lot  before  the 1st drive  because  they  only  get  them  for  7hrs behind  the  wheel . Wanted them  on the  street  as much as possible . My kids learned  a  heckuva lot  more  here  than an online  class .Strongly  recommend  Mr. Hicks  and his staff !!!! Read Less

Boy have driving schools changed, or is this just an exception?  Four major gripes with this place. 1.No driving simulators? Really? With the advanced technology we have I would have thought these were a given.  2. It was very hard to get drive times scheduled due to their very full schedule. 3. They want the drivers to have experience *before* they agree to take them driving around.  I don't know about all of you, but my anxiety and nerves as a parent of a new driver, make my teen way more nervous with me as the instructor, so I paid for the driving portion, not just the classroom portion, yet they won't let the drivers sign up without prior experience. WHAT? 4.  The academy driving companion gave no pointers or feedback during the drives, just sat in silence, and instead had him just drive around to Target, etc., where he needed to go run errands? Really? No pointers or instruction? Just, "Let's have you take me to Target because I want some candy?"   Here goes the worst one #5  My teen had *some* experience around the neighborhood and parking lots with me because, well, see above rules, and his very first time he got in the car with the instructor and another student, he was told to get on the freeway and go downtown.  No questions asked about experience at all.  Apparently my kid was white knuckling it the whole drive.  (It's my kid's fault for not speaking up about his comfort level or experience, yes, but shouldn't the instructor check where everyone's levels of skill are before they put them on the freeway?!)  I know this sounds like a helicopter parent, but if you want you and your family to be safe out on the road, I would hope ALL parents get the BEST driving education they can get, for ALL OUR SAKE.  At this point, I will have to continue to just teach him myself, and hope that we can get him confident and taught safely.  Very disappointed with this place.

AWFUL, AWFUL, AWFUL. A total waste of time and money. It seems if they don't like your face or ethnicity, it is already decided they will not give you a passing certificate.
