The Vanguard SchoolStay away - very dangerous environment for vulnerable students. No training for dorm staff, students run the show and staff cover up what's going on to keep their jobs.

The Vanguard SchoolI am amazed that parents would post negative reviews, when their children had problems that were not revealed to the school during the admissions process. Vanguard works very hard to support their students, both in and out of the classroom. There are MANY success stories - including students being accepted into colleges like Stetson University with approximately $100K in scholarship money. Does that sound like a "gloss-over" or a drug problem to you?!

1The rating speaks for itself. Do not send a student to this school.

1Please be very careful before selecting this school. Be sure to visit DURING the school day when you are unexpected. Dorm staff is untrained, yes untrained in LD students and teen supervision. ASK them what training they have received. Teachers are afraid of administration. There is a glossy cover on everything you see...scratch the surface and you may be very surprised!

1This is NOT a school for LD children. They have small classrooms but they do little beyond the academic day to support students. Staff is not qualified to care for your children. There is a contingent of bullies they cannot manage. Smoking is virtually allowed. Drugs are rampant. BEWARE. Do not send a child there. All the kids know it.

5Best school I've ever taught at. Truly individualized attention for students with learning disabilities, awesome field trips, great extracurriculars, and incredible potential to excel as a teacher or as a student. There's not enough room for me to write all the good things I could say about Vanguard or tell all of the student success stories that Vanguard generates daily. Send your child here; you won't regret it.

The Vanguard Schoolexcellent---I am a 2008 graduate of the school. I am doing great in college because of what Vanguard did for me--the staff is the best.
