Vanguard Academy is based in Pharr, TX. It is a charter school that serves 1062 students in grades PK-11. Charter schools are public schools, but differ from traditional public schools in that they are independent and are operated by educators, parents, community leaders, educational entrepreneurs, or others. Funding for charter schools is based on designated local or state educational organizations. Those organizations are responsible for monitoring and assessing the quality and effectiveness of education, but permit the schools to operate outside of the traditional public school education system. Vanguard Academy made AYP in 2011. Under No Child Left Behind, a school makes Adequate Yearly Progress AYP if it achieves the minimum levels of improvement determined by the state of Texas in terms of student performance and other accountability measures.
