Good. There are always things to improve upon in an educational setting. Communication is only through email. Class sizes are large.

This is a great school and I would recommend it to anyone. I give it a 4 star because a 5 would be excellent and there is always room for improvements in any organization.

Great school, great teachers

They really focus on trying to capture the children's learning attention. They incentives them with in class room rewards to help keep them focused.

They also have good sports programs for students.

Love this school!

We have been at Vanguard for 11years, wow time flies! The teachers are fabulous and truly care about each student and do their best to provide a great learning environment. The ladies in the office truly are remarkable in keeping things in order and helping parents understand what's needed. The Deans and Principal a great at motivating the students with fun incentives. I couldn't imagine a better place for my children to learn and grow. My only complaints are to grading, using points which no one understands and lack of regular work for older students, which doesn't promote great study habits for students future in high school and college.
Vanguard thank you for all you do!

We love this school

This school has awesome, caring teachers who are dedicated to teaching our children, and to connecting with our kids as people. My kids have made awesome friends with great families, and they love their teachers and love to go to school. Our oldest graduated from Vanguard a few years ago and was very well prepared for the expectations in high school.

Very Happy

I have nothing but positive things to say about Vanguard, and feel very confident that my child is in good hands. My younger child will start next year at Vanguard and I am very excited to have them both attend!

Some disappointment

Academically Vanguard is everything we could hope for, but we have been disappointed in the athletic department this year. I could careless about win/loss records, though it is always nice to win, just with some of the decisions made off the court/field by coaches and directors. For example, basketball, with the allowing of additional students to join the team after the season was already 1/2 over. I understand there were issues of academic eligibility, but that should have been taken into consideration when cuts were originally done during tryouts.

While it hasn't affect my sons playing time, I can't see how it is fair to those kids who have been part of the team from the beginning and though their hard-work and dedication would have earned them the right to step-up and fill-in for their teammates who have lapsed. It would be one thing if this was high school varsity, where drive to win should be important (though not at any cost), but this is junior high B team where the focus should be on not just teaching/improving these kids the fundamentals of the sport(s) but greater lessons. Especially since most will not go on to play the sport once they go on to high school.
