We moved our daughter out of the VANGUARD program (HEROD - Due to horrible experience with their principle and counsellor), Our daughter is not only grasping a lot academically but also socially she is doing great, she did get on the honor roll, but all the kids, parents and teachers are just very friendly, involved and all in all I would say, no wonder it is # 4 school in Houston as rated by Children at Risk, another great website we found....
