All of my family has learned from Avon Driving School and none of us were disappointed. Angela might seem harsh but this is a driving school, rather beat road safety into you than think it's a joke and not learn. All the staff are really nice and informative, easy scheduling, and an overall fantastic time. Can get your license test done here directly which is very convenient.

This review is from the perspective of a 16 year old student who completed the 30 hours of classroom training, 8 hours of driving with an instructor, and did the license test here as well. It seems like most of the reviews are from parents so I figured I'd offer my opinion.
In June 2020, I completed the 30 hours of classroom training over Zoom. I'm so glad they offered this as it would have been next to impossible to have in-person sessions due to the ongoing pandemic. I give them an 8/10, and the first few lessons helped me pass the permit test.
It took until October to complete the 8 hours

I am 29 years old and I utilized Angela for drivers ed in High School. The year was either 2008 or 2009. It is 2020, I decided to look her up and see she is still in Business. Great job Angela. I hope all is well. I am up taking a trip down memory lane as my son sleeps. I went back to the Bronx before getting my license. Angela allowed me to come back to CT, stay at her house and test the next day. Provided me with breakfast and was just all around kind. Things you think about as an adult, that you know people do not have to do. I see a few 1 star reviews on here. I say let cooler heads prevail

We were very pleased with our experience at Avon Driving School. Our daughter attends boarding school, so scheduling classes and driving time during breaks could have been very challenging. Angela allows you to do classes as needed in different sessions. She is very accommodating. The driving instructor was patient and really helped build up our daughter's driving confidence. Thank you!

Angela is extremely unprofessional not only to myself but to my 16 year old child.
I do not recommend spending any of your time or money at this establishment unless you want to be insulted. I agree wholeheartedly with the negative reviews that I have read because I was also treated the same way. Go anywhere but Avon Driving School.

My daughter went through ADS four years ago and we had a fantastic experience. My youngest will be 16 in June and we have already contacted Angela to enroll her. I found Angela to be caring and thorough, with her sole purpose to put safe and prepared drivers on the road. Bottom line is I trust her with my girls.

My daughters just got their license through ADS’s program, and it was such a pleasant experience! Angela and her staff are professional and friendly. In addition, the classes and driving schedule offered are quite flexible. Training was second to none exceeding state requirements. In summary, ADS not only offers stellar training, but also generous discounts (i.e., sibling and military).

Regsitered my son for this driver's shool. The classroom sessions went fine with a couple minor issues. I scheduled driving sessions and the road test over the phone with Angela in April 2014. I was told that the driver's test would be on Friday July 25 and that license pick up would be July 29th. At that time I was told the driver's test would be in the morning with an exact time assigned. This week I discovered that Angela did not put my son on the driver test schedule. Angela was asked to correct this as this was her error. Angela offer an Aug date ( which fell during our family vacation). I
