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.

Although Venture Academy started 2013 - 2014 school year, the school started small and a great vision to teach minority students thru ought Minnesota. Things I like about Venture Academy are that it is very diverse, culture, ratio of students to teachers, relationship of teachers towards and from students, and that students can do changes to the school and school environment. The things I don't like about Venture Academy are resources and administration to find a pathway to get in college. Thur my 4 years at Venture Academy had very few programs and resource to get scholarships and college credits to get into college. With out these programs and resources students at Venture Academy will have a hard way to get into college to aspect their dream career.
