GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I have been at Vanguard for about 8ish years now and it's been great. I love the events that we host and the sports and activities. I appreciate the way the teachers take their time and teach the lessons and make sure that everyone understands and participates before moving on. I would love if they added more lunch food items especially for vegetarian and vegan students but otherwise I would definitely recommend it.

This is a great school. Both campuses offer a consistent experience with the East campus offering a high school option. High school at East campus provides a unique experience with small class sizes focused on academics. The sports program is growing now that the building is opening back up. This school has a rich past and a bright future.
