I’m not sure why, but the BBB has several different listings for the same place. I imagine it’s because complaintants get a tiny detail wrong, so multiple reports get made. Pay special attention to the BBB’s assessment of the Napa school (which no longer exists). That West Wind doesn’t respond to complaints is pretty bad news. I’m going to call the local BBB tomorrow and see if I can get any more info.
