The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I spent four years at Venture Academy and did not connect to the student body or the general environment the school fostered. I felt completely alone in my academic path and in socializing. I attended early college and a lot of the staff did not like this and discouraged the fact that I would leave campus to take higher level classes.

Venture Academy has been a great school with amazing teachers. It is pretty small, there is less than 60 in my graduating class but it is a lot of fun. We have a good debate team and Drama club however if you want to do sports at all do not come here, we don't have any high school sports. We do have Adventure club witch makes up for our lack of sports, you can go climbing, ice-skating, skiing, and intermural sports on random Tuesdays through-out the year. Overall the reason I like venture is because of the small community everyone gets to know one another and cares for each other more than any other school I know of.

I loved Venture High School. Venture is a family, I had amazing connections with my teachers they were not only my teachers they were also my friends and people I could turn to for help. The school really helped prepare me for college by giving me a college like experience. Venture is very inclusive and helped me grow into the person I have become by letting me be and express myself everyday.

Our family has been very pleased with Venture's educational opportunities, the quality of the staff, and their emphasis on EL education. My son isn't just learning facts; he's learning how they apply to life and how to think. Don't be scared off by scores--Venture has a unique way of combining kids...

Not very good. Most teachers are great, but not a very good student experience. They don’t handle their problem students.
