I noticed the report never used the word "student" or "school" either. The reports indicate that RCS markets itself falsely as a "school" with "students," but they are a "CCI" with "residents." I wonder why RCS would market itself falsely like that?

RCS is not recognized by the state of Georgia as a private school nor is it considered licensed by the state as a school; it is considered a child caring institution. Parents need to know this so they can make an informed decision before placing their child there. The fact that RCS is permitted to call itself a "school" is very questionable to me.
Whooter - if you question this call the school board yourself. They'll confirm the facts for you.

It is called "Ridge Creek School" and is recognized under that name by the state of Georgia. I will need to go with that, if the state makes them drop the school off of their name then I think we can all call it something different, but for now we need to call it what it is. Even DJ calls it "Ridge Creek School" in his thread headers.

So you agree that the term "school" is just a term and does not really hold any real credibility because the state of Georgia has not licensed or recognized RCS as an institution of learning?

Thank you, Guest3, for pointing out this false advertising. RCS is a registered "Child Caring Institution" according to state records. They are not recognized as a "school" either private or public by state authorities. Thank you for this insight.
Further discussion of this topic should be carried out here.

The DHS reports refer to the facility as "RIDGE CREEK, INC."
So the state recognizes them as a corporation, not a school. Whooter has his facts wrong there. Surprise, surprise. Lols.

Neatly done. This case is closed. RCS is in no way legally recognized as any sort of school - public, private, charter or special purpose. Whooter got caught perpetrating yet another fraud while promoting RCS.
Let this be a lesson to you, parents, RCS and its lackeys will say anything to get their hands on your wallet, but you need to look into their claims because they are specious almost 100% of the time.
