GreatSchools Rating
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 joined Venus High-school my junior year of High-school. Throughout the three high schools I have attended Venus High-school was the most cliché; the sports team have the high and mighty attitude and the welding students are cocky. Though the math and science department within Venus are kind and brilliant. They're very accepting of majority of the students and are willing to help you through any struggles you might suffer. The administration are messy and unorganized but many of them do try their best; mainly the councilors and office staff.

Half of the coaches are teachers, their misbehaved athletes are given special treatment compared to other students. A lot of students got away...

I moved my child from a nearby large public school to Venus and I absolutely don't regret my decision. My older children graduated from the larger district so I have personal knowledge of both school environments. Venus is by far the superior school district. I always know what is going on with my c...

Why are people giving biased reviews? If people are being biased, then so shall I.
