Venus High School

This rating is absolutely meaningless. You might have a few disgruntled parents, but those usually are parents who aren't involved in their children's lives anyhow. They expect the school to be a 'miracle worker' while they contribute nothing to the success of their kids. In fact, some probably couldn't tell you the names of their children's teachers or what grade their children are in. When we have open house at the high school and I have 10 parents show up (and I teach 130 students), that tells you something about parent involvement. So parents, quit complaining unless you can truthfully say you are involved in your kids' lives. You can't blame the teachers for the things you've never taught your children such as respect, follow-through, honoring commitment, and basic manners.

The worst school I've seen. Drug activity, poor teachers, poor leadership. I see no desire for the school wanting to improve. They seem satisfied to be a total failure.

The reason we moved here was because of the school. Less violence, drugs, gang activity, etc.... no metal detecters, smaller class size, more individual attention. We do not regret our desion. Had 3 children attend. High school only.
