All my children attended Venetia Elementary since 2015 till now 2024. It saddens me that we are leaving. The staff is amazing, the teachers, the administration team, the cafeteria staff, the volunteers. I could not have asked for a better school experience for my kids and I. They set the standards for the kids as well as parents for the future. Thank you Ms. Worthen for everything,

Homework is sent for review of what has been taught.

Very experienced teachers at Venetia. Many of the teachers have been there for some time.

The administration goes out of their way to make us feel welcomed. They also provide a lot of communication for what is happening in the school. Since Mrs. Chatman has been there. The school is now an A school!

The ESE teachers are amazing and supportive.

I would rate my experience at Venetia is EXCELLENT! The administration cares for the students and communicates very well with parents. I have had nothing but positive experiences with the front office and teachers. The school is now an A school and I know the teachers and students worked very hard to achieve this goal.

This school is easy peasy. I went here for 3rd grade and the homework was more like reading one sentence.
Posted: September 10, 2019
They teach in an awful way, math isn't even math!
Posted: September 10, 2019
No, this school doesn't even teach anything about health or safety. My school I am at right now (FLVS) teaches that very well.
Posted: September 10, 2019
Nobody leads anything, the teachers look in books and write it on the board. They don't actually know the material.
Posted: September 10, 2019
To a point they do, but its still pretty bad.
Posted: September 10, 2019
Nope! My younger brother was bullied the entire year and the teacher did nothing about it.
Posted: September 10, 2019
Horrible, that is all I can say about this school.
Posted: September 10, 2019
The best teachers at this school when my children attended was Mrs. Anderson and Mrs. Burrows.
Posted: September 10, 2019
The school needs to practice what they preach! The best person in the front office is Mrs. Rice! Everyone else up front is fake.
Posted: September 10, 2019
Administration comes off as fake. The true colors do come out as the school year goes on.
Posted: September 10, 2019
Please! Please! Please! DO NOT send your child here if he or she is very intelligent or has a learning disability. This school lacks the experience to deal with children that need a lot of help.
Posted: September 10, 2019
What a joke!! This is one of many reasons I pulled my children out of the school. The substitutes fail to report incidents to the principal, parents and the resident teachers.
Posted: September 10, 2019
Do not put your kid in Venetia unless you want to be harassed about fundraisers; read papers threatening to turn you into DCF if you pick your child up late more than twice; listen to teachers wine and complain about how their kids did not pass the writing portion of FSA because they do not give out much homework; walk in the office to hear staff trash talking kids that attend the school; and the list goes on and on.

I was nervous for my kids to attend here after reading older reviews. This is the elementary that the military base is zoned for.
I have been impressed with the administration, staff, school events, procedures. We really like this school. It is a smaller school. There is new administration as of a couple years ago and it has really made a difference from what I'm told.
I am involved in the PTA and feel very welcomed and appreciated by the staff. The PTA is awesome at the school.
Venetia has a lot of activities and events for the kids. It has been a lot of fun so far.
The curriculum is a good pace and the teachers we've had will go above and beyond for their students to help them.
We are looking forward to next school year.

This school was fine, but what made it great was Mr. Theis. I went there 10 years ago for elementary and he was real hard on us but he made us good kids and he cared about us a lot. We miss Mr. Theis!!!!!!!!!

They give out quarterly awards for academics, attendance, and citizenship. I feel all students are treated equally and respectfully.
Posted: June 1, 2015
My daughter has enjoyed her first year of school and learned a lot. The PTA there is awesome and very active.

So many things wrong with this school. I only hope that with a new principal this school will improve. I truly cannot believe how horrible this school has been. I just read a post from 2006 saying this school is Navy friendly. Please do not send your child to this school because the location is convenient or "Navy friendly". I am greatly disappointed on how dismissive and unprofessional the staff has been towards students and parents. Overall experience at Venetia was a nightmare.

Venetia is a great school I think needs more experienced teachers that there for the kids not a paycheck but overall mrs milner is a great teacher and my kidd went there three years in a row and we moved but my fifth grader going back on special assignment I love this teacher mrs.milner she really care about the students.

My son has been in the FL public school system in "A" rated schools since he was 3 years old. He attended 2 different schools before coming to Venetia, and has always been the kid that all the teachers wished the other children would be like. Venetia has been nothing but problems! My son's teacher is extremely unorganized. We never know what is going on no matter how many times we've asked her to explain it. Her classroom is an absolute mess 100% of the time. My son was told he couldn't check out library books when we transferred him in, and 4 months later even after I spoke with his teacher about the situation, he was still not allowed until I took care of the problem myself with the librarian. As it turns out there was no reason why my son couldn't check library books out; it was just teacher negligence. He is given negative conduct marks for "laughing too loudly when something is funny" (he's in kindergarten), for "not completing his work" (when I check it as soon as he gets in the car from school, and it IS complete), for "being silly during lunch time" (it's LUNCH TIME, not work time!) He also comes home from school crying on a regular basis. DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE!
