Summary

Venetia Elementary School is a K-5 public school in Jacksonville, FL's Ortega neighborhood, serving 372 students within the Duval County Public School District, where it consistently earns a stable 3-star rating and acts as a solid middle-ground option in a neighborhood with a starkly polarized educational landscape.

Venetia stands out for its exceptional 3rd Grade Math performance, with 87% of students proficient in the 2025-2026 school year—far above district and state averages and rivaling top-tier schools like John Stockton Elementary School (92%) and Hendricks Avenue Elementary School (77%). This "3rd Grade Math anomaly" suggests a highly effective teacher or intervention program that the school should replicate in other grades. However, a concerning "5th Grade Slide" emerges, with math proficiency dropping to 60% and English Language Arts to 57%, indicating challenges in retaining early gains as curriculum complexity increases. Science remains a consistent strength, with 5th graders posting strong scores that often outperform the district and state.

Venetia serves a moderately diverse socioeconomic population, with 42% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch—a rate significantly lower than high-poverty neighbors like Sadie T. Tillis Elementary School (66%) and Timucuan Elementary School (64%), but higher than affluent schools like John Stockton (16%). Chronic absenteeism at 38.7% is a core challenge, better than struggling neighbors like Timucuan (65.6%) but more than double the rate at top-performing schools. With per-pupil spending of $10,530—moderate compared to neighbors—Venetia achieves solid results efficiently, making it a compelling "bridge" school for families seeking consistent, average performance in a diverse community.
