Anne Frank Elementary School

This school is an absolute GEM. We have multiple kids at the school. The staff and parents are wonderful, excellent learning environment with truly loving and dedicated staff. Highly recommend

A once-reliable school is now expanding with non-functional systems, arrogant teachers (most, not all), declining academic performance, and overwhelming class sizes. No one pays attention to each child unless you are the child of an affluent person. Sadly, the costs and vibe about the school do not necessarily match the actual service delivery. The Academic Visitation should be an opportunity to listen to the teacher and, together, discuss the child's education, but it is not structured and not very good use of time for most interactions. It is instead a session where a teacher is asking a child where the missing marks are, interrogating a child and you are more less like a witness to the interrogation between the teacher and the child. It is so sad. I just hope the systems and the once Glory of Green Hill is restored and the children are supported to have a bright future, as is we shall continue to be in desperate situations as parents, especially parents who all they can do is to provide the best affordable education to their children. So sad to see the once powerful school decline that bad!

This marvelous place! These kind, patient, hardworking people! This loving, trusting, supportive, non-judgmental community! Vanguard has been an absolute dream for my family. The preschool and pre-K years were a struggle for my daughter at schools that were not set up for kiddos whose brains work differently. We worried that a school where she could be supported, listened to, and loved for who she is did not exist... until we found Vanguard. From the moment she stepped on the campus to visit, my daughter has felt at home. Her classes are small and taught by excellent professionals who lead with love and kindness at every turn. She receives individual attention when she needs it, as well as valuable, daily feedback that has helped her with her behavioral challenges, building friendships, and creating a solid academic background for the future. She and her peers learn how to love and accept themselves and their peers for who they are, even as they work to meet their daily challenges. In addition, the school encourages continual communication with families. If a problem crops up, we hear about it immediately from her teacher and we work together to figure out a solution. Parents are also encouraged to escalate concerns to school administration ASAP so that solutions can be collaboratively constructed. But at the core of everything, we have seen results: it's no longer a struggle to convince our daughter to go to school, she loves her teachers and her peers, she takes pride in her schoolwork, and her confidence has grown with each passing year. We absolutely love Vanguard and the innovative, loving, and dedicated people who work here.

Greenhill School has been an exceptional educational experience for our family. Our child is known, challenged, and supported every day. The school strikes the ideal balance between rigorous learning and personal growth, helping students build confidence, curiosity, and respect for others. We are grateful to be part of such a well-rounded, forward-thinking school community.

This is a truly hateful and toxic school. I know there are some good teachers and families, but the administration shockingly awful in their approach to handling students and families. I think you would be better off at a DISD school. Don't waste your time or money here.
