Venus Elementary School

Not enough learning for the kids. Hardly have homework. Things that my 3rd grader learned in 2nd grade was what he learned in K and 1st.

My experience with this school has been a very positive one. My daughter attends this school and she is pushed on a daily basis to do her best, help others, and participate in after school activities. I have also substitute taught and seen the inner workings during a school day and found the teachers to be caring and very competent with the curriculum. This district has some growing pains to work out as all districts do but with more active and participating parents supporting the admin, teachers, and staff this district could easily be a 10 out of 10,

I thought moving to this area would provide my child with the advantage of having a more personal relationship with teachers since it is a smaller area. The education standards are poor and the teachers are not interested in kids doing well or most of them don't understand the curriculum themselves. Some of the staff is rude and unprofessional. I will not stay in this area another year. If you can avoid this school district, do so.

A school where teachers care about the education of their students. I'm proud to have had all 3 of my children attend VES and I look forward to having my 4th child attend.

My children have been going to Venus ISD their whole lives. They all excel academically and in extracurricular activities. They've all liked the teachers they've had so far. I've never had a problem with the teachers or the staff at the elementary school. Quite the contrary. Every time I've met with them, they seem sincere in wanting my children to succeed. I don't know the problems of some other students and their parents, but I, for one, love this district and my children couldn't imagine going anywhere else.

Pricipals are self absorbed and lack of attention focused on the children doing well is less than satisfactory. Parent involvement is not accepted and frowned on. The teachers are told that if they accept help from parents they are not doing their job. The secretary is rude to many parents and is not kind to the children. Think twice before moving here.

My girls are in 3rd and 5th grade the teachers are great, but the assistant principal and are not very helpful with problems. The food served is very poor and of low quality if you can avoid this district I would.
