I love the community and the teachers. The only thing I wish was different was the offered opportunities and classes. It was a small school so it was somewhat limited in that area.

Venture is a great environment for those who have a difficult time in large classrooms. Teachers are very understanding and will work with you on due dates if can't make them. With crew you never feel alone and have people from all grades to help you. there are no sport teams and because students live in a very large area, finding a friend who is zoned in your same area for a sports team is very hard. A lot of the reason that my friends have left venture is to peruse sport opportunities

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