http://www.ridgecreekschool.com/index.html (http://www.ridgecreekschool.com/index.html) So there is the answer as to why the ORS pulled the Documents.
-
http://www.ridgecreek.org/rc-staff This needs to be up-dated...since Hollowhead is now with Aspen and Grimwood is gone. Odds are D.R. will be next... chop, chop. Look for Buccellato to start pumpiong up Ridge Creek/Mount Brook academically and every other way to ed cons...then, possibly one scenario, good-bye HLA come October, shift to Ridge Creek/ Mountain Brook with a dual license thanks to the ORS. Creekside shows no license with the ORS....
Saw it coming...

Dear Office Of Regulatory Services - Alarm Bells anyone?

This is so typical Buccellato. BB&T's attorney's are miffed because Buccellato has not filed reorganization papers for HLA... a little dragging of the feet, so Ridge Creek School gets set up. Maybe BB&T should receive the "reorganization papers" - Ridge Creek School web-site.

Well, it looks like now we'll just have to go small-bore on Ridge Creek School. It's time to start following up with ORS and to make sure there's plenty of material out there for parents to be able to make the right decisions for their families. It's important to start linking RCS to HLA wherever and whenever possible to illuminate the principals' involvement in both places.
The target has been acquired, so let's drop all remaining ordinance on their pos.
-
Has anyone looked at the website? The place looks really nice. Its on a beach and all, canoeing, ropes course. Are they photos of the existing HLA or is this his new place? This appears to be more of a college prep school than a TBS.... more of a military flavor, whipem in shape get their grades up and get them into a good college type of place.

I pray you are joking.

No, it's just TheWho trying to incite. Ignore him and focus on the task at hand.
-
the photos are of HLA and Ridge Creek, it's the same place. in fact many of the pictures of the kids are from over 4 years ago.
-
Buccellato has now shifted even the advisory council from HLA web-site to Ridge Creek School, along with the "Equestrian Program"...Does that mean the ORS shifted HLA's CCI license? http://www.ridgecreekschool.com/ (http://www.ridgecreekschool.com/)

MountainBrook Academy was gearing up in 2006 to take DJJ children. Town shot it down...Now in walks Ridge Creek School... In 2006:
STICC UPDATES
(February 27, 2006) John David Reuben, Founder, Saving Teens In Crisis Collaborative (STICC), 877-249-1336, announced that to-date it has received notice of a $100,000 grant from the US Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention and another $100,000 in individual contributions. He added that the company is now prepared to begin its selection process for funding kids who need assistance in attending a private program or school.
I have a few questions for John Reuben, in the spirit of transparency. Are you or are you not going to fund sending DJJ children to Ridge Creek School? Have you already funded DJJ children to either of Buccellato's 5 marketed schools? Have you been approached to help fill the roster at Ridge Creek School with DJJ children?

THIS IS FALSE ADVERTISING! NO ONE HAS EVER GRADUATED FROM RIDGE CREEK SCHOOL! RCS WAS JUST CREATED. THIS IS A TESTIMONIAL USED FROM HLA'S WEB SITE.
BUCCI - YOU HAVE ROYALLY FUCKED UP THIS TIME.

Testimonials
After graduating from RCS my son continued his education and graduated cum laude and received his Phi Beta Kappa recognition. He is a strapping 150 pounds now – afar cry from the 200 + prior to Ridge Creek. He had abandoned using all anti-depressants while at RCS and continues to remain off of them

BUCCI - HOW CAN YOU CALL THIS IS A HIGH SCHOOL? HOW CAN YOU STATE "EVERY HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE IS ACCEPTED INTO A COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY"? OMG - THIS REALLY NEEDS THE ATTENTION OF THE FTC.
http://www.ridgecreekschool.com/index.html (http://www.ridgecreekschool.com/index.html)
Every High School Graduate is accepted into a College or University
High SAT and ACT Scores

From HLA's testamony page:
“How does a parent thank the staff and school that totally turned around their child? Sending him away to HLA 24 months ago was the hardest decision my husband and I ever made! Why was our son so angry? Why was he doing so poorly at school and at home? Was HLA the right place to address his needs? All of HLA have done a better job than we could have ever dreamed of. He is now a mature, thoughtful, caring young man and a pleasure to be around. Our son was accepted at his first choice college and has a career in mind. Most 18 year olds look on college as one big party. Not my son. His goal setting is remarkable. Thank all the staff from the bottom of my heart! Your guidance and wonderful program has made an enormous impact on my son’s life!”

I know the parents and the child in question. He graduated HLA over 4 years ago, and is doing well. This is such a scam.

You should contact the parents of that child and tell them their names are being used in association with FALSE advertising!

Looks like they dropped advertising as SACS accredited, even though TheWho claimed they were, we just needed to "call to find out" for ourselves. TheWho is a complete idiot and liar. :twofinger: Well, they ain't. And now they even dropped the claim to be.
Now they're claiming GAC accreditation. funny how GAC lists them as accredited, even though they don't exist yet. They also accredit Mountain Brook Academy, which never was and never will be.

Too much, do you have a link, Bruce? Did you bother to call the other number I gave you (above) or do you not want the truth? Still in your pretend world of making up names for people and events that occured you never provide any facts to support your posts.

Oh that wasn't me John. I thought you'd finally come to accept I don't guest posts? As for your number I'd be very interested in calling them tomorrow if I have some time. Unlike some I've always been interested in the truth about these places, not an agenda. I'll be happy to report back whatever they say on here. Thank you for providing it.

Who, when you said they were SACS accredited and that all it took was a call to the SACS office to find out, you were lying. Why did you lie about that? Answer this first, then we can move on.

What did you mean by this, thewho? To just ask me questions about something I didnt say or things you think I said doesnt make any sense. Just link to it and we can discuss it. Well, if you promise that you are still working on getting your posts strung together.

Why did you lie, Who? You said you called SACS and verified accreditation and suggested everyone else do the same. You LIED. Why did you lie?

Why did you lie, Who? You said you called SACS and verified accreditation and suggested everyone else do the same. You LIED. Why did you lie?
I remember the post and conversation. Thewho never said Ridge Creek was accredited. He was saying we should check first before making judgment and provided a contact name and number. Whoever is accusing him should check the posts first, makes you look stupid once again.
-
But you just said "Ha ha ha. I told you they were accredited."
So, Who, were you lying then or now? Can't be both ways, liar boy.

If you would settle down long enough and ask the right questions you would have to look like an idiot. If you could just research your accusations a little or take time to read back you wouldnt put yourself in these situations.
If thewho is right we should just say so instead of looking like idiots. All the post history is there.

Cool. Thanks. You were lying when you just said that you never said they were accredited. Gotta keep your lies straight because they can be hard to follow.

If you are a parent and have found this site because you are looking into Ridge Creek School or Ridge Creek Wilderness, please be careful. Read 2:06-cv-00146-WCO Ryan, et al v. Hidden Lake Academy ...
Hidden Lake Academy is now Ridge Creek School/Ridge Creek Wilderness . Please DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES "PRE-PAY" TUITION, if this payment program is available. You will be told if you pre-pay tuition, you will receive a discount....DO NOT DO IT. DO NOT PAY A DEPOSIT, IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG AND YOU PULL YOUR CHILD, YOU WILL NEVER BE REIMBURSED.

Cool. Thanks.
You are welcome!! I took a look back thru the posts and it Seems that thewho was right. Ridge Creek is accredited:

Yes, first he claimed they were accredited by SACS and then he said that he never said they were accredited. He actually lied twice. Both statements are lies. Why do you lie so much, Who? We're curious. We have to have an answer to the question "Why do you lie so much, Who?" before we move on here. We have time and we're patient. Now, why did you lie, Who?

It's pretty disturbing that according to this link the next scheduled "Re-visit" to Ridge Creek isn't until 2011? How the heck can that be the case when this place isn't even in existence? Doesn't Georgia monitor new facilities more closely or do they just pay a fee and that's good enough? What the hell is wrong with the state of Georgia?????

Ridge Creek School - Should it not be on the Board index? I am concerned that new families will not be able to find info as everything is under HLA. RIDGE CREEK SCHOOL, formerly known as HIDDEN LAKE ACADEMY?
-
I called and emailed SACS and never once received any type of acknowledgement or response to my emails and phone calls. I think Dr. Flatt should be held accountable for her actions. One can only draw the conclusion that SACS and HLA were somehow in each other's back pockets based on how consumers were treated when they contacted SACS?
Anyone else have a similar experience? Did anyone ever receive a response from SACS?

Mr. Croke is aware of what transpired at Hidden Lake Academy and Ridge Creek Wilderness.
He is aware of much more than that, like Bucchellato's penchant for sexual harrassment and molestation of male employees, and the resultant lawsuits and settlements; the money he has stolen from hundreds of parents; and the incompetent "counselors" and teachers he hires. But that doesn't matter to Mr. Croke, because he is a member of the same club, and neither he nor any other consultant or program owner/executive will ever admit to all the rotten apples in the barrel since that exposes the fradulent industry that is their bread and butter. You're just another sorry son of a bitch, Tom, devoid of ethics and any sense of decency, like all the rest of your brethern.
