Venice High School is located on the west side Los Angeles, in the U.S. state of California within the Local District West area of the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD). Venice comprises four small schools: a Foreign Language and International Studies Magnet, and STEMM (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics and Medicine) Magnet, School for Advanced Studies (SAS), Media Academy, and Earth Justice Academy. Venice High is greatly supported by numerous community partnerships, parent groups, Booster, and Alumni associations. Venice is known for offering a large number of Advanced Placement classes and having an excellent athletics program. The school is also added an instrumental music teacher, marching band, and Mandarin teacher.
During the 2011-2012 school year, 69% of Venice High students were Hispanic/Latino, with 12% white/European Americans, 10% African Americans and 8% Asian Americans. According to the Los Angeles Times Mapping L.A. project as well as zip code maps, because the school is just east of Walgrove Avenue it is not located in Venice, but the adjacent neighborhood of Mar Vista.
Several neighborhoods, including Venice, Marina Del Rey, Mar Vista, and Del Rey, feed into Venice High School. The unique educational pathways offered by the four small schools draw students from across Los Angeles.
Elementary schools in the Venice High district include Beethoven Elementary, Mar Vista Elementary, Playa del Rey Elementary, Broadway Elementary, Braddock Drive Elementary, Stoner Avenue Elementary, Short Avenue Elementary, Westminster Avenue Elementary School and Coeur d'Alene Avenue Elementary School. Marina Del Rey Middle School, Daniel Webster Middle School, Mark Twain Middle School, and Palms Middle School feed into Venice. Until LAUSD established sufficient capacity in the area during the immediate post-World War II period, Culver City-based Betsy Ross Elementary, now closed, had been the largest single feeder to the then 7–12th grade high school.
