The Vanguard School, Colorado Springs | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

We had high hopes for this school when we originally enrolled our children. Those hope were soon shattered by the horrible administration. They are running this school into the ground at an alarming pace. Families are fleeing under the current administration.

Our son was being sexually harassed constantly by some kids in his class and we were laughed at by Mrs. Blair and Mr. Randall when we brought it up (We have them on a voice recording doing this and the school still did nothing). They refused to take this seriously and our sons mental health suffered because of this. We were told by the administration that Vanguard was a choice school and we could go elsewhere if we didn’t like it. The school refused to do anything until we threatened to go to the media and started a Title 9 Investigation. That investigation found repeated evidence that these kids were sexually harassing students in the classroom so they quietly moved them to another classroom and did nothing else to apologize.

Administrators play favorites and will disrespect and treat children they do not like poorly. They favor the staff children for activities, sports, and all other extracurricular activities. They refuse to hire any additional guidance counselors and rely on one for the entire school. They do not take the kids mental health seriously and have nothing in place to help kids suffering with depression and bullying. If there is an instance of bullying they will move that child to another class where they can find more students to pick on and have no repercussions.

Like many of the other families that are leaving this school we have removed our children from this toxic environment and are going to a different school district.

I always felt like the dumb kid here. As nice as some of the teacher are, I was having a horrible high school experience. Now that I’ve left I actually look forward to school and learning. I have more opportunities and get to help other students and staff members. After 4 years of homework all night every night I stoped outing my full effort towards school work during my sophomore year there. Unless you want to go to a very prestige college I would recommend going somewhere else. I went from D’s and failing to all A’s and B’s and I’m happier.

A school full of egotistic facility. Vp is horrible to children and plays favorites. Many teachers leave every year because they are screwed over by the board. If you have a daddy or mommy on the board you are untouchable. The school deprives children of valuable high school experiences. Don’t waste your time here it is no longer a school for intellectuals.
