Ridge Creek School - Accreditation
Troll Control:
Ridge Creek School's website claims that it is academically accredited by SACS and GAC, but a search of those entities reveals that RCS is in fact not accredited by either agency.
It appears the blatant fraudulent advertising continues from Buccellato. Where would a false advertising complaint be properly made in the state of Georgia?
Troll Control:
It's true. I looked it up on both sites and it's nowhere to be found. Just another massive lie from ol' Lenny boy.

I know this is crazy and useless but on the ORS web-site there is a complaint form. Otherwise just send an email to Carol Winstead, and Nina Edidin. I wouldn't doubt that the ORS is going to piggy back everything with Ridge Creek/Mountain Brook or whichever entity is left. On the ORS web-site, "Find A Facility" if you type in Ridge Creek, Inc. you will bring up RC reports, but curiously look at the top of the form...it does not say RIDGE CREEK, INC. it says Hidden Lake Academy, Inc. Otherwise, a complaint has to go Federal, to the FTC... If anyone wants to meet me in Gainesville to see Federal Attorney General Nahmias, let me know. We have enough, the State is dirty. You know where to find me.

I know everyone is chomping at the bit to start finding something wrong with Ridge Creek School. One error I see here over and over again is the lack of follow through when searching for the truth. A quick scan of a web site doesn’t constitute a search in my opinion. I have seen many a profession deemed “working without a license” with their photo posted all over this site when if given a little more effort reveled that these professionals were in fact licensed in almost every case that I followed thru with and investigated.
Before making up your minds and wasting time on a ton of posts Give this a try:
Call (770) 429-0040 and ask for Elizabeth (Liz) Law at the Georgia office (of SACS) in Kennasaw. She is very nice and will answer all your questions or get back to you if she doesn’t have the answer at hand.
Web sites are not real time information and you need to understand the time frame of when they complete their updates before making your decision.
This is the same if you are looking to see if a professional is licensed in the state database or if a licensed has expired. If a professional completes a higher level of training and moves up then he/she would allow their old license to expire and then be relicensed within the new area. So a non thorough search may show up as a person is working under an “expired license” when this in fact not true.
Hope this save you some time and grief.

Sort of like the time we proved that HLA had been operating without a license for eleven years?
Sure didnt seem like wasted effort.
Seriously, John, is there anything this industry could do that you would view as being a problem? Any law they could circumvent that might make you raise an eyebrow? I mean you've already established that when they murder kids you don't see it being an issue, but is there anything else that might upset you?
