- My two children attend Vanguard Academy and this school provides a wonderful learning environment for students of all ages. It allows students to view material through different perspectives, and provides a learning experience unlike any other in public schools. I am extremely impressed with their staff and administration.
- Reviewed by a Parent/Guardian on February 23, 2010
(Rating: 2 / 5) Report As Inappropriate - The school has made great strides, however; it is lacking in providing library
resources, adequate p.e. facilities, academic competitive teams such as DI. It does not address the needs of identified G.T. students. When will this change? Will the board makes changes
soon. If you intend to keep the top notch
students from surrounding districts something has to change
