Summary

Ventura Elementary School is a public elementary school in Kissimmee, Florida, serving 775 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Osceola School District, which is ranked 57th out of 67 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Ventura Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Florida elementary schools over the past several years.

Ventura Elementary faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 28.7% to 34.9% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. The school's test scores are consistently below the Osceola district and Florida state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math 5-10 percentage points lower than the district and state. Additionally, Ventura Elementary has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 54.13% to 62.71% in recent years, suggesting a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When comparing Ventura Elementary to other nearby schools, both within the Osceola district and in the neighboring Orange district, it becomes clear that Ventura is underperforming. For example, East Lake Elementary and Stonewyck Elementary, also in the Osceola district, have significantly higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates than Ventura. This presents an opportunity for the school and district to implement targeted interventions and support systems to address the specific needs of Ventura's student population and improve student outcomes.
