I would personally say that if you put in the work, then what you get out of this school is worth it. We get ample scanning time in the lab which I personally believe is the most important part of this entire program. You can be extremely book smart, and not be good at scanning. It takes practice, practice, practice. I work in a hospital setting as a CNA and most of our Sonographers went to west coast ultrasound institute, and they are amazing sonographers with registries. Our school has changed quite a bit since some of these reviews. It is actually frustrating to me reading some of these. Our program now offers and AAS degree, with 6 months of extern instead of 3 which is a huge change for the better. We are now able to sit for the ARRT sonography exam right when we graduate, which allows us to then sit for ARDMS or for CCI. There is no more working full time for a year before sitting for the registries.That was the main issue with this school just a year ago. We offer great extern sites, but our extern coordinator is picky about site placement. If you are lazy, get bad grades, are absent or tardy often, you probably will not get placed in a site that is expecting a good student that is ready and willing to learn. You are still going to get a site, but it may not be the site you want. Unfortunately this is a for profit school, not run by the government and with that there will be hiccups and things are not perfect. Which is why I did not give a full 5 stars. However overall, if you are a good student, study the material, read the books, and scan as much as possible this program is worth not waiting 10 years to get a spot in gateway. Bottom line I would absolutely recommend this school, if you are willing to work hard, study harder, and put in your absolute best. If you are looking for an easy ride to make good money then I wouldn't recommend a career in sonography. This is a tough career path not for the lazy or weak minded.

I then had lost my step mom and failed vascular lecture 2x. My mistake . I was dropped from the school , and was told i had to pay back my financial aid then can reapply for reentry . Well i was able to pay over $1,000 back and reapplied and wrote a letter i then got a call it was discussed at the monthly meeting and they decided to not let me back in . This place doesn't care about people trying to better their future they care about money only . I've been trying to appeal the decision for a year with no response from the school . Apply at the risk of them acting like they care and support you when they really don't .

It is so frustrating. We had four different instructors, despite supposed to be having one, we had a class canceled 30 minutes before it was supposed to start, and then I was marked absent for the make up class, despite communicating, with three different instructors in personnel of the team, to verify my make up date. I could have been employed last week, but because of their system a month later, and I have still yet to receive any certification. Save your money and find somewhere that values you as a student..

We are in our 2nd year of the dual-language program and I'm floored every day at some of the topics and concepts that she's learned from her guides and peers. We've decided to stay and deal with a 30minute commute after moving further away because we are so pleased with the community, programming, and overall experience with the school - even down to the quality of lunch provided by the district. Don't hesitate to tour or visit an open house to decide for yourself, but I know you won't be disappointed!

I researched a ton of schools, and the private ones were all super expensive. This public Montessori school not only gives us a quality education but also has affordable aftercare, clubs, and meals. I love that they offer different language options. One of my kids is happy in the English-only class while the other is thriving in the dual- language program. They partner with awesome organizations like amazing arts for aftercare and if we want extra activities we can pick a club for cooking, learning chess, or even dance! This peace of mind has made a big difference in our lives. The way the school focuses on the whole child is truly unique,. Our kids are tough to tackle problems and work together, which is so impressive. Plus, the emphasis on personal responsibility and making a difference in the world is really motivating. Just like any public school, there are budget challenges and some organizational hiccups since the program is new. But overall with a little grace, we feel this is the perfect place for our kids to grow into smart, kind, creative, and engaged individuals.thank you for making this accessible to everyone!
