VENICE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Venice Elem School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Venice CUSD 3 school district, located in Venice, IL with about 62 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 9 teachers, Venice Elem School has a student/teacher ratio of about 6:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Venice Elementary School is located at 300 4th Street in Venice, Illinois, and serves as a foundational educational institution for the local community. Situated in Madison County, the school operates within the Venice Community Unit School District 3, focusing on providing essential academic instruction to primary-level students. Its location in a small, historic riverfront community reflects the district's commitment to maintaining a local neighborhood school that emphasizes accessibility and a supportive environment for its pupils.

The school is characterized by its role as the primary academic hub for families residing in Venice. As a smaller educational facility, it typically prioritizes personalized attention and community engagement, aiming to foster foundational literacy, numeracy, and social development. By operating as a cornerstone of the community, Venice Elementary serves not only as a place for classroom instruction but as an integral part of the social and educational infrastructure for families in the surrounding Illinois area.
