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.

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.

My son Justin completed his course at this driving school. I made the drive all the way from Donaldsonville because the staff worked with our schedule so well. We had a deadline that we needed to complete everything and Mr. John had us completed well before we needed Justin's paperwork. Great school that works with you personally. Very upfront and trust worthy. Thanks so much.

I had a great experience with Road Scholars Institute of Driving. My class was small, which helped everyone stay focused. Everything was read aloud, the instructor answered every question that was asked. They gave us great example's through out the class of how to handle different situation while on the road. My experience of driving with them was great, Chris allowed me to drive as I pleased, he was great at reminding of my speed, turning, and staying focus. He didn't yell or get upset at my mistake's. He simple instructed me on how to fix with. He was great with driving on the interstate for the first time. I was scared but he help me stay come and gave great instruction's. I can honestly say I would recommend them to anyone I know !

I had a great time here. It was a great experience and my instructor went above and beyond to teach us the ways of the road and also showed us that it didn't have to be so boring and serious. This of course, made us more comfortable to work in such a surrounding where they worked with you. It was one of the most fun and educational experiences I've had in anything educating in a long time. I believe everyone should go here. We were treated like family and because of this, we weren't scared to test by the end of instruction. Thanks!!!!!

I'm about to finish my driving with Chris, today. He is very helpful! I was nervous about driving, but he helped me a lot and now I feel more confident about driving in general. I recommend! They work around your schedule and they will not wait to put you in a class on a Tuesday or Thursday. I happened to be the only one that took the class. That helped me even more, though because the instructor, Colton, was able to work with me one-on-one.

The teachers are super nice and happy to answer questions. And my mom loved that they were the least expensive driving school around! I'm ready to drive! Anyone need me to go pick up something? :)
