Cascade - Open Road Driving School of Yelm

Worst experience. Talked poorly about customers behind their backs in front of us students. Were very unprofessional women who seem to just hate their jobs. Did not communicate that they were closed despite me having an appointment that day. Still have to get our money back. Took my business my business somewhere else. So should all of you

Super caring and supportive staff. Kim and Leanne went out of their way to help me, make sure I understood, and passed! I am so thankful & won't forget them. <3

2 of my teens have gone here! Ronnie is very good with the kids while also being thorough. Make sure they get their practice in with you. That's not part of their job.

I wouldn't say my first experience was a good one. I scheduled my appointment for a written exam because I needed a WA State Driver's license. When I went to test I was not late however my sister had to grab my purse to bring it to me so I could show them my ID. She arrived one minute after the hour. The lady there told me I had to start on the hour because it was scheduled on the hour. She told me to reschedule. I went to 911 Driving School instead. A year later my son enrolled at Cascade because it was cheaper than other schools. It wasn't until Orientation I was told about the fees they apply if they feel your child fails a lesson... My son said that the teacher was annoyed on their first driving lesson and didn't feel comfortable with her. I said it was probably just his nerves but I assumed she may of just been firm in the lesson. They give six lessons and during the lesson they expect the child to know how to drive BEFORE the lesson. If they fail on the "Driving Lesson" they will apply a fee for wasting the teacher's time. My child told me that in class they read from the book for an hour and a half, have a five question test, sometimes a worksheet, then watch videos for thirty minutes. The teacher will give some direction but my son said he learns more at home. They do not allow parents to sit in to witness this so called education or give a syllabus to take home. This company needs a little more professionalism. However they do not refund after orientation. I will not choose this school for my daughter.
