My son is in the vanguard kindergarten. They have done an excellent job both teaching him discipline (he can be a bit wild and talk out of turn) and academics. He came into kindergarten reading, but reluctantly. He now reads willingly and at a 4th to 5th grade level (Captain underpants and the like). He is very excited to start 1st grade next year. They also Mr. Busby an excellent music teacher. This is unique as many school have cut music and arts as their budgets have shrank. The older students get to learn guitar or band and the band regularly wins the HISD competitions. Unlike most schools with Vanguards in HISD (River Oaks, Herod, Travis), this one is decidedly more working class serving a predominantly Hispanic population. In fact they have one of only two Spanish language Vanguard classrooms. A majority of the students qualify for free lunch and are economically disadvantaged. Thus there is great diversity as well.

La mejor escuela en programa Vanguard del area para los ni os con habilidades cognitivas superiores. Excelentes maestros y docentes, as como una principal que trabajan arduamente en equipo para mantener en el nivel mas alto a nuestros ni os. Pasion y dedicacion en su vocacion. Limpieza y seguridad, buena organizaci n, excelentes programas. Esta escuela a superado mis expectativas inclusive he notado una mayor ventaja y una gran diferencia en el nivel academico de los ni os de Carrillo comparado con las escuelas del area incluyendo KIPP (Tengo una hija en KIPP).
