Reviews of High Ridge Driving School (Driving School)

Freddy Cadet, one of the driving instructors, was super helpful, always on time and prepared my son the best possible way for his driving test! Ask for him if you schedule lessons for your child.

I've been driving for at least a decade, and the adult course was a great refresher and very informative. The course just updated their videos and the instructors help to keep the class engaged throughout the course using personal experiences. I had one small incident, and was able to get in touch with one of the owner's without hesitation who helped me fix the problem! Overall great course and staff is very helpful!

The first session of the drug and alcohol class on Saturday was fun and went by fast with Mr. Smith. Today the instructor in my second session, Latoya, found it funny to make several rape jokes during the class. Here are her exact words "Who wants to go to jail and get raped?" in order to make it seem as if that would happen if we were to drink and drive. and at the end of the class she assumed an appropriate way to say goodbye was "Girls don't get raped." which was cross the borderline offensive.

Struggled to get my license for years but this place did the trick. Professional staff and fair prices for the area. I have driven with Brian as well as Fred and I would highly recommend either of them, especially if you are an anxious driver like me! The instructors are amazingly helpful and informative. Fred even made time for me on his days off. I could not be more appreciative or satisfied for what High Ridge has done for me! Thanks again for everything :)

Firstly, this is one of the more expensive institutes out there to take any driving course. I applied to take the drug and alcohol safety course and they charged me $125 while some other schools in Stamford charge $100. Moreover, they do not inform you that they operate in 2 different locations in the city. I am new to Stamford and when I booked my uber, it took me to their 992 high ridge road location at 9am. However, seeing nobody there, I called their number for help but no one answered. I quickly took another uber and reached their 500 summer street location 10 mins late from the scheduled time. Without listening to what I had to say, they refused to let me into the class. I asked them that if I book another class will I get some discount considering that I just paid $125 and due to some error I missed the class. They refused and by their attitude I could tell they just wanted me to leave asap. I had a terrible experience here. Very rude and unsympathetic staff.

My son just completed driver training, the drug and alcohol course and passed his onsite driving test with the High Ridge Driving School. It was such an excellent experience that I want to let others know. Scheduling was easy, instructors were excellent and personable and Liam is a fine driver. Do not hesitate to use this outfit. A pleasure all around.

High ridge driving school trained me perfectly to pass my test the first time, specifically my instructor Freddy Cadet who was fantastic.

I just completed my 8 hour classroom of drug and alcohol related classroom session last Sunday. - It's a school with functional systems, rules/protocols, clean classrooms, and some good people. - They understand if you need to reschedule or if you need to make last minute adjustments. But overall I wouldn't recommend going here if you are looking for a professional and clean classroom experience. An 8 hour long class isn't fun on a Sunday. Some tutors make jokes to help manage the monotonic nature of the session. But sometimes they REALLY cross the line. It might seem abusive to some people. If you are one who cares about decency please look for a another school even if you are paying slightly higher price. The first 4 hour session good. Paul seemed like a nice person to listen to. There's a teacher - Mr. Smith. If you see your class is being scheduled with him - PLEASE look to reschedule. - He would constantly complain about his BOSS, who came up with the material for classroom (I thought it was good). - He would complain about his personal life. - He would complain about the American system. And how he is being targeted by police. - He would make racial comments against some communities. - He would teach you to break speed limits when you are driving. - He thinks honking and tailgating are good techniques. - Overall - he is a rude, abusive, wannabe funny person. And I do not care, it's his problem. Some people are probably okay with that kind of attitude. - But I wouldn't want to pay for those classrooms either if I'm getting lessons from him. This school is getting 2 stars because other people were nice and PROFESSIONAL. (to me the most important aspect I look for when I'm paying for something). Good luck..

Very helpful in my situation

The 8hr Drug and alcohol class is necessary for your license. HRDS is the better choice . I had a great experience and my instructor was funny and practically told us everything we needed for notes on test. which made the hours ALMOST fly. I highly recommend HRDS so you can PASS YOUR TEST THE FIRST TIME.

I definetly would recommend Freddy for driving lessons, he was very helpful and extremely friendly!!

Mikeya Anderson

They were extremely helpful towards me! I came I. With a 5 year old permit, and needed a new certificate due to a DMV issue. They dropped everything they were doing, and checked every system dated back 5 years, all so I can take my test in 2 days!

I had a really good experience here. I was struggling to get my license for a while and they made it really easy for me. They teach great techniques for the road test and make sure you are aware of what proctors look for on the test. You can either take your driving test at the school or they can even take you to the dmv! Definitely worth every penny!

Justin is awesome!

Pamela Liflander

HRDS was the perfect choice for my 16 year old. The schedule was very accommodating and she passed her driver's test on the first try.

They take your money and they don't tell you when the parent needs to come the first two hours were the last two hours the owner Ron was unhelpful

Austin Biggica

I just passed my driving test with flying colors and I would really recommend to have Freddy Cadet as your driving instructor. He prepared me for everything on the test and to be a smarter driver for the future.

I had a really good experience with the school. I had multiple sessions with Freddy Cadet. Freddy is an amazing instructor. I passed the test on the first attempt thanks to him. He took me through almost all possible scenarios and built up my confidence comfortably. Based on my enjoyable experience, I recommend the school and Freddy to any new aspriasp driver.
