Notice that most, if not all of the five star reviews of this school have been posted by students who found the classes “fun.” “Teachers are witty,” “videos were entertaining.” It’s fine to make a class fun and entertaining, but in the end, driving is serious business and there’s a lot to learn and know in order to drive safely.
My experience with this driving school as a parent was not good, to say the least! Each evening that I picked up my daughter after class, I asked her what she did in class and what she learned. Without fail, she said she learned nothing because all they did was watch videos about the perils of driving while under the influence or while texting. She said the teacher could often be heard giggling at the horrific accidents depicted in the films!
When I take my daughter out on the road for sessions behind the wheel, it is clear that she learned absolutely nothing about driving and following the rules of the road in her classes conducted by this driving school. My daughter scored a hundred percent on her written test at the DMV office, so she knows her signs etc., but bring her to a four way stop and she’s clueless.
This school’s shortcomings don’t end in the classroom either. It is nearly impossible to schedule behind the wheel instruction sessions because there simply aren’t enough teachers or open slots for all students to get time with an instructor for behind the wheel training. I will probably have to enroll my daughter in another driving school in order for her to get the necessary mandatory behind the wheel training.
In short, if you want your teen to actually learn all there is to learn about safe driving on our nation’s roadways, choose a different school.

Outrageously wonderful place. Made drivers ed turn from a hassle to a great experience. Drivers ed is a boring class, but this place made it perfectly tolerable. Mr. Mantleman is a wonderful, sarcastically witty teacher, and all his staff have big hearts.
Highly recommend!!!

5/5, I actually learned something. Hi, I'm Evan Jevtic, and I actually did not crash my car when I was in this class (yet). I have no issues. The education is great, videos are inspirational and educational, and the teachers are one of the nicest people anyone can ask for. If you got a kid who needs to learn the rules of the road, take Driving4Teens. Now I'm gonna go home, I have some smash bros. to be playing.

this class was great! they made it really easy on us and fun at the same time. The teachers are really freindly and welcoming. Ms. Perkas was a great teacher!

What a jerk, if he treats a parent asking about lessons for a teenager bad, I can't imagine how bad he treats the teenagers when they're alone. Would never send anyone or anything to this guy.

The ease and flexibility of the owner and his staff have made teaching my daughter to drive a great experience. Signing up for behind the wheel has been so easy! Love that it can be arranged to drop off and pick up anywhere. Would highly recommend this school. Great instructors that are positive and knowledgeable.
