Venture Academy

Public Grades 6-12

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.
