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.

Great if you're an academic weapon, but if you get in with the wrong crowd you may not recover. Also has amazing and diverse clubs and sports.

There are different sides to Venice Senior High School. I am in the STEMM magnet where I am with like minded people who are devoted to academics. There is a tight knit community in STEMM that is uplifting and supporting of others. STEMM teachers and students overall are wonderful. The regular part of Venice has problematic characters, but I don't know enough to comment much.

Awful, they claim they are against bullying but they have no plans in order to stop it. It ruined my daughter’s senior year.
