My kids have attended GWA since it was opened the first year MANY years ago. We attended the parent…read moremeeting when they all got together and decided to start a charter school because we were so tired of the problems we were having at our neighborhood elementary. Our kids weren't allowed to read beyond their "class" level because the computers didn't have the level they wanted to read associated with their grade, poor curriculum, and many other issues recurring over and over. We reluctantly chose to send our kids to the first year of GWA even though they held classes in portable classrooms while the building was being built. That first year was a little out of the norm, but a fun year nonetheless. Since that first year we've seen the school grow by leaps and bounds and our kids have had the best education - better than I had hoped for. In fact, our Junior in high school at the time and her friends were struggling with math and our 6th grade son came home showed them how to do it because they were studying the same concepts and he understood them well. The school is outstanding in all cases. Not too large, but not small either. My only wish was that there was a GWA high school for my kids to move on to. Outstanding school.

Applied for a job here right before they closed down. Glad they are gone for good after reading all…read morethese reviews about how the youth were being not only physically but sexually abused here. The facility was in good hands when Frank Habibian was the owner. I know because he was a faithful and honest man. Once they sold it to Sequel Youth, they went down the drain. Better off working elsewhere if you want to work with troubled teens. Cinnamon Hills is right across the street folks, they also offer better pay and benefits. Just an FYU

Needed to leave a review! Where to start…read more My relationship, as a parent, with Red Rock started almost 2 years ago. As I can say with any program, they work hard! The do their best to provide a PPC environment for children that are "at risk". This is not an easy job to do. Red Rock does a great job at it! When my son was "placed" in treatment and I didn't know what to expect. What I found was a enriching environment. They provide PPC or Positive Peer Culture, Therapy, Independent Studies, Art, Dance, Music and much much more. The core staff is dedicated, hard working and loving. Overall, they take a not so good situation and make it better. If Red Rock was not in my life, my son could be down a very bad road. I am not willing to think of what I would have done without them

This program, these people are the real deal. in a sea of false promises, hidden agendas where many…read moreprograms are doing more harm than good, Eagle Ranch is a life raft of safety and TRUE support. I thought I would write this review while we are in mid program. Im not writing this to say they have "fixed" my child, I know our family is going to have a long journey no matter what. What I hope to share with anyone who reads this is that this is a place you can trust. We have been to many, many residential programs and have a great deal of experience behind this statement, and I am also a Psychotherapist by profession. What makes ERA valuable? They say what they mean, mean what they say. The owner is not a distant, hands off, corporate individual, he is sitting in an office and working with the teens all day like everyone else and so is his lovely wife. My precious kiddo is being CARED for and respected, while she's being held accountable and challenged. A blend of loving and no nonsense that is exactly what our population needs. There is a "real life" element to ERA that is unique to other RTCs, including the co-ed component which is really helping our daughter. The finances are fair and they will do everything they can to help. The teens are BUSY all the time with meaningful activities. this is not an expensive babysitting, lip service, running the clock place. it's an industrious beehive of intentional activity designed solely to help heal and equip our kids for life. Lastly, academics. After 2 years of school refusal, apathy, no personal agency over her academics, our daughter is ENGAGED with learning again. She is proud of her grades, she is catching up to her actual grade level. thank you Eagle Ranch. Karla M.A.

if I could put 0 stars in would. If you are a parent looking for help for your kid I promise you…read morethere are better places. this is not coming from a bitter child, this is coming from someone who has to live with everything that I endured at ERA. Please look I to other options. They do not care about your children. If there are issues going on you cannot tell your parents. They will cut off communication from them. They will lie to create more issues that they have to "fix". Their level system is near impossible to complete. They dont care about medical issues. I am still recovering from a botched MINOR surgery that they performed while I was there because they refused to take me to a real doctor. Every person I know from my time here has relapsed back onto old behaviors. I am not telling you that the residential treatment centers everywhere are bad. I am telling you that ERA is not where you send your child to get better. The seminars are humiliation rituals designed to make you "vulnerable" to more treatment. But really all they do is brainwash you and humiliated you and cause both students and staff to hold things over your head while you are there. Please do more research and please please please listen to the negative reviews that people will put. You will be able to tell who was just a bitter child who couldn't comply, and who is actually trying to warn you. ​​
