Summary

Venice Senior High is a large, diverse public high school serving grades 9-12 with about 2,300 students in the Los Angeles Unified district, and it stands out for achieving strong academic results while serving a community with significant economic need.

The school's performance is impressive when compared to its neighbors. It ranks in the 81st percentile statewide, which is much higher than most schools in its own district and competitive with schools in wealthier areas like Santa Monica High and Culver City High. Venice High excels in graduating students, with a 95% graduation rate that beats both district and state averages, and it does this efficiently, spending less per student than many nearby schools like WESM Health/Sports Medicine or Animo Venice Charter High. Students perform very well in English and Science, though math scores are an area for growth.

Parents should know the school has shown steady improvement for a decade and supports all student groups effectively. A key challenge is chronic absenteeism, which is higher than average, yet the school still maintains its excellent graduation rates. For families in the Los Angeles Unified area, Venice Senior High represents a consistently high-achieving option that successfully supports a diverse student body.
