This school sucks, don’t waste your time here. If your trying to get your hiset here, don’t do it once you pass reading 3 they send you to math class your basically on your own. You will go in there expecting a class with a teacher to showing you how to do the math class you need to learn, but instead they just hand you a math book and a paper that has the page numbers to the work. The teacher just stays sitting on her desk waiting for you to ask her any question instead of her getting up and courage you to do the work and helping you they don’t. Pretty much you need to teach your self how to do the math. This school has a lot of stigma which will make you discouraged 🫤 about the whole thing. They really need to find a way to help the students more because students go there to find a second chance to get their education. when it comes to this it really makes your self esteem go down makes you not want to go there anymore. they should make you feel like wanting to go to school and wanting to finish your education. It’s a really sad 😞 place never again will I ever go here and I don’t recommend this...

I would not recommend this school to anyone considering the LVN program. I’ve been trying for months to get a response from the staff, and no matter how many times I email or follow up, I get no reply. I even drove all the way from Lancaster to visit the campus in person, only to be brushed off and told I would be contacted via email—which never happened.

I completed the beginning portion of the LVN process but needed to retake the math portion. I scheduled an appointment and made the long drive again, only to be told that the teacher wasn’t there. I tried to reach out directly to the instructor—no response. I also emailed Karla multiple times and have yet to receive any communication back.

This experience has been incredibly frustrating and deeply disappointing. I was genuinely excited about the opportunity to attend this school, but instead, I’ve been met with neglect, disorganization, and complete lack of communication. Students deserve to be treated with respect and given clear guidance—unfortunately, that has not been my...

If a zero could be given then I would for the general office staff - instructors are fine but you can never get what you need from the administrative staff of the office. Calling in - long ring times - and when you complete the course - you have to wait more than 4 months to get your certificate of completion. When you are working on deadlines to turn documents in for licensing or certifications, a 3, 4 month (or longer) delay to get certificate of completion does not help. They will not pay for your costs to get livescan finger printed again or reimburse your bus ride to the school multiple times but they will take their sweet time NOT to provide in assistance. Shame on the “LEADERSHIP”, or lack thereof, in...
