Our son was at Edgewood for 2 years when we were experiencing extreme difficulties within our home with him. Thankfully, we were able to get him enrolled and he was adapted well within their structure. The teachers, administration and cottage parents were all able to support him and build upon a foundation of which for him to progress in his life. Even now after 3 years of being gone from Edgewood, we still go back to relationships we built there when we are having issues with our son. I would highly recommend the school who feel like there are no other options with their children.

This school was a life saver for our daughter. As a very difficult child and not sure she would graduate high school...she successfully completed the program, graduated and is now completely independent! She is a strong, successful Christian woman, who loves others.

I give 5 stars to the program at Edgewood Children's Ranch. Their staff is loving but firm with the children. Many students that enter into the program have no expectation of graduating, but after just a little while in the program, have goals to graduate and even go to college.

When I went to see my daughter, I wasn't allowed to. I was told that supposedly she didn't want to see me but then my wife and I had to pretty much beg the school to let my daughter meet her new little brother so they supposedly asked her again but this time about her brother. What a surprise, she all of a sudden agreed to meet him. I wasn't able to take my son to meet her and the director tried to take my son to meet her but he didn't want to go with her because he doesn't know those people. So my wife had to accompany my son. My wife said that when she saw my daughter, my daughter was so unhappy and she was trying to tell my wife with her eyes help me, get me out of here. My wife felt like a criminal because she was being watched when she took our son to meet my daughter. She wasn't even allowed to hug my daughter or talk to her. There is something fishy about that school and I scared for my daughter now. I knew that there was something wrong with that school when we saw one of the boys there washing a dumpster with a tub of soap and a brush. I mean who does that kind of stuff.

I have no words to express how happy I am with Edgewood Children's Ranch. From the cottage parents (Bruce and Indiana) to the office staff (Mr. Marty) I mean everyone has been so professional and have been truly inspirational to my son. They have worked one on one with him and my son has done a 360. I am so thankful with all that he has learned and how much his character has changed for the good. I remember the first day I dropped him.. I cried all the way home. I thought well... this is my first day I'll get over it... But, not at all I cried every single time I drove off. But, with tears of joy. I was so grateful for each and everyone who have impacted my childs life. I recommend this school to any and everyone that has a teenager going the wrong way, not putting much effort into school I guarantee you that once they enter the Ranch that they will totally change. My son entered 9th grade with bad grades and no motivation and leaves with 10th grade credits. He was determined to make a positive change in his life and I can't be more proud of him! Thank you all for all of your support! I will never forget this experience that has also taught me how to be a better mother. Angela
