If it is the same Summit School, kids are dying there: http://http://fornits.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=905&start=0

In the past Lake Grove had a connection to Desisto:

A program you should watch carefully is Harmony Heights. They work with Madonna Heights. Sometime students are moved from one program to the other with warning. Madonna is a prison. Be careful ending up in this system: http://http://fornits.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=26132

In general
Try to avoid places, which are a long way from home, use level systems and restrict communication. Out of State can also be a problem. If you move South because then they can use corporal punishment. Some adults like to spank teenage girls. It benefits them with therapy rather than the student.

Some of them don't have homepages or at least I have not been able to locate them. Some of them don't have student handbooks on their webpages, so we are unable to see how strict they are. Some of them seems to accept students only if the school district back home pays.

How is your situation? Is it your parents who wants to lock you up or is it done be recommendation by the school district?

With a list of residential programs like that you must be a Long Island girl.

Anyway, here's the 411:

Lake Grove - last I checked it was a dump
Vanderheyden Hall - Lots of kids in the foster care system, upstate location, unprofessional staff
Greenburg - NC, Greenburgh Grahmn, HCK - all Westchester based programs that take a lot of kids from the foster care system
Summit School - eh, I've got serious mixed feelings about this one.
Harmony Heights - what the previous poster referred to is actually an inaccuracy.  You're in no danger of ending up in Madonna Heights, especially if that's not already on your parent's list of schools.  Harmony Heights is what it is, safey is a matter of relativity.
I don't know anything about the other three schools.

Questions:

Do you have or have you ever had case management or waiver services?
What is the reason for your placement?

And a resource for any further questions that you might have:

Agreed with Psy. Get a fucking lawyer. And get your mother on Fornits.

BTW, what the fuck makes you post TEN different places? What, are your parents fucking shopping around for this shit?

Hey, Anya's mom! You're playing five-bullet Russian Roulette with your kid and trying to blindly guess at the right chamber! How does that make you feel?
