For the 2024-2025 school year, Venture Academy ranked 122nd out of 328 Colorado high schools and received a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. In the same year, 44% of 9th-grade students were proficient or better in PSAT9/Mathematics, compared to 53% in the Douglas County School District and 38% statewide. Additionally, 66% of 10th-grade students were proficient or better in PSAT10/Reading and Writing, compared to 79% in the Douglas County School District and 64% statewide. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 27.7% in the 2023-2024 school year was significantly higher than the state average.

Venture Academy's performance can be compared to nearby schools, such as Chaparral High School, a much larger public high school with 2,045 students that consistently outperforms Venture Academy in academic metrics. Additionally, HOPE Online Learning Academy High School, a virtual public high school, has significantly lower academic performance compared to Venture Academy and the Douglas County School District as a whole. Despite these comparisons, Venture Academy's unique focus on leadership and entrepreneurship may be an area to further explore and leverage to differentiate itself from the larger, more traditional high schools in the area.
