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.

The best part about Vanguard is how close everyone is, from theaters to students everyone knows everyone, and can be supported however they need. Their student services are the best, they support you in each and every way, whether it be a bad day or a mental health struggle they help. Academically it could be improved, but teachers menthols vary and are also open to helping students succeed.

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.

Overall it was an ok experience. I wish there were sports and that the food was a bit better. All the teachers are great. Most are understanding when it comes to certain things and you can easily converse with them in pretty much anything.
