Advice from Vanguard High School
We visited Vanguard High school in New York City, which is home to 413 students. Vanguard opened in 1993 as part of the coalition of essential schools, which focuses on creating smaller more intimate learning environments. Vanguard is currently housed in the Julia Richmond Education Complex and shares the building with five other high schools. Unlike many of the public schools in New York City, Vanguard does performance-based assessments instead of standardized tests to measure what students have learned.
We interviewed Vanguard High School students Degora Anderson, Julissa Lopez, TJ Singletary, Katilin Nazario, Naquan Dodd and Declan Ryan and asked what education Advice they had for president Obama.
