stay far, far away. their website is nothing like what it really is. words cannot describe what this place is like. if you are thinking of sending your son or daughter there, please do not.

Midwest
I went there to visit, to consider. Got a really bad, somethings up feeling when i was told that my son would not have any phone calls in or out till level 4? that could take 3-4 momths? then those calls are monitored? I took a tour, received chilling looks from students. What is going on there? Were you a student or Parent of student there?

I don't know much about boarding schools, having gone to public schools my whole life, but if you are looking for another boarding school in Iowa, you might consider Scattergood Friends School in West Branch. It's a Quaker boarding school, other than that I don't know much about it. It seems nice from the website, looks like there are interesting class choices. Here's their website if you want to take a look: Welcome to Scattergood Friends School | Scattergood Friends School |

Driving by the sign for Scattergood I always thought it sounded kind of creepy. However, looking at the website, it doesn't seem too bad at all. I'm still more of a public school kind of guy though.

It is something else. Its stuff you do not ever hear about, but its terrible what goes on there. They need to do some kind of expose or something on dateline about these places.
Its very cult like and the kids are treated worse than prisoners. only thing is, nobody believes the kids after they get out, and when they are in, they cannot have unmonitored contact with parents, so they cannot let them know what is going in. |
