With about 33 teachers, THE VANGUARD SCHOOL (HIGH) has a student/teacher ratio of about 9:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.

By maintaining a smaller, more intimate school culture compared to traditional large public high schools, The Vanguard School aims to provide a personalized educational experience. The school is popular among families seeking a traditional, content-rich academic model that departs from contemporary educational trends in favor of time-tested pedagogical methods.
