I haven't used a private driving school because I took driver's education course which was provided at the deaf school. I also didn't need an interpreter because the instructor, of course, knew ASL.
When I took the road test, the state police is required to ride with you during the test to see how you maneuver on the road, so and on. That was a little bit confusing because the state police did not know ASL. So, what happened was, prior to the test we were working out on how to communicate instead of writing on pen/paper. We came to a solution and I showed him some simple signs that was needed for the test - ie; right, left, stop, parallel parking and all that. It worked out well and I aced it on the first try.
I don't know how it is for other states but here, the state police makes the scores and will factor the decision to see if you are able to pass or to fail.
As for using an interpreter during this situation - I can't be much of a help because I haven't experienced using an interpreter while taking driver's education.
