Negative experience: Just go somewhere else. Waste of time
Fantastic experience: The instructors were a pleasure to deal with. It took about 3 months to get completed, but at least this was mentioned online. I have some friends and their kids took somewhere else and waited double the time it took here but that could be because it’s Baton Rouge. Great driving school, my daughter had no complaints and she now has her license.
Negative experience: I’m seeing a lot of great reviews on here, which is why my wife and I decided to go with Road Scholars to get our daughter the required drivers ed. I can’t help but wonder if there’s been a change in ownership because our experience has been quite different than what I’m reading. After a positive experience taking the four day classroom portion, it’s been all downhill from there. It has been almost four months (the state mandated max time allowed) and not only has our daughter not even had her driving instruction scheduled, the lack of communication or response to our inquiries has been unprofessional and quite frustrating to say the least. I understand the school has many students to schedule and accommodate through the driving process, but for the amount of money these classes cost there should be much better communication and planning so that parents can plan accordingly. Four months of radio silence is unacceptable, not to mention how it’s made our 17yr old daughter feel knowing that our hands are tied until the school decides to call and provide some sort of update, which at this point will be on very short notice. This is unacceptable and inexcusable with all of the ways of communicating in today’s world. To be clear, I’m not upset with the length of time it has taken, I’m upset with the lack of overall communication. Especially when the instructor informed my daughter during her classroom training that they would be doing the driving portion based on age, with older kids going first. If by some miracle this experience turns around I will change my review, but we have a long way to go.
Mr. Baker, we don’t have a record of a registration by your name in our system. Can you reach out at [email protected] with your daughter’s information so I can check into this? We are currently working on the summer class from July which is two months out from this moment so everyone beyond that point is completed but I can check specifically into your daughter to see.
Fantastic experience: I enjoyed going here.
Fantastic experience: Wonder business, highly recommend. It was a great experience for my daughter. Thank you Colton for all your help, it was a pleasure working with you.
