Summary

Venetia Elementary School is a public magnet elementary school in Jacksonville, Florida, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 392 students. The school is part of the Duval School District, which is ranked 54 out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Venetia Elementary consistently outperforms the Duval district and the state of Florida in various standardized test scores. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Venetia's 5th-grade science proficiency rate was 78%, compared to 52% for Duval and 55% for Florida. Similarly, Venetia's 3rd-grade ELA and math proficiency rates were higher than the district and state averages. However, the school has had relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 44.8% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages.

Venetia Elementary generally outperforms the nearby schools, such as Hendricks Avenue Elementary, which is located just 3.9 miles away and has consistently higher test scores and a higher state ranking. Despite the school's relatively strong academic performance, its per-student spending is slightly lower than the state average, ranging from $9,294 to $10,320 in recent years. This may suggest that the school is able to achieve good results with limited resources, but it could also indicate a need for additional funding to support the school's programs and initiatives.
