Venture Academy

Summary:

Venture Academy is a public high school located in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 155 students. The school's academic performance and student outcomes are significantly lower than the surrounding high schools in the Coeur d'Alene School District, which is ranked 23rd out of 77 districts in the state.

Venture Academy consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Idaho high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its proficiency rates on the ISAT exams are much lower than the district and state averages, particularly in math (7% proficient vs. 49.7% district, 42.2% state) and science (14.5% proficient vs. 49.1% district, 41.2% state). The school also has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 55.2%, which is much higher than the district's other high schools, Lake City High School (28.6%) and Coeur d'Alene High School (15.0%). Additionally, Venture Academy's four-year graduation rate is only 66.7%, significantly lower than the surrounding high schools (89.4% at Lake City High School, 90.7% at Coeur d'Alene High School).

The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Venture Academy (52.26%) compared to the nearby high schools (19.56% at Lake City High School, 15.31% at Coeur d'Alene High School) may be a contributing factor to its low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates. When comparing Venture Academy to high schools in the neighboring Lakeland School District, such as Timberlake Senior High School and Lakeland Senior High School, the academic performance and graduation rates are more comparable, suggesting that the challenges faced by Venture Academy may be specific to the Coeur d'Alene School District or the local community.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
