Venado Middle School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2008-08-03 “This school was in me and my husbands opinion, the worst school we have ever been to. The homework overwhelmed our child; and the students picked on him, but if your child likes being picked on and worked for many hours, then venado is the right school for you.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-01-23 “I am a parent of a child at Venado and I think that it is the best school that I have ever been to.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-12-03 “Amazing school. My kids went there and they gained excellent study habbits.Try It” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2007-09-03 “I have had two children attend Venado and my experience with this school is if you can find another middle school, do it! I will say that their resource program is great with great staff. As for the teaching staff, while there are some good teachers, it is surprising how many poor teaching staff are there.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 4 2007-07-26 “From my experience with my 2 years at venado I was very happy. It is an excellent school with great programs and excellent teachers.Dont get me wrong the school is not perfect. If you are going in as a 7th grader be lucky becuase the best teacher at the school just moved to 7th grade. I would recommned teachers such as: Mr. Angel Mrs. Delvac Mr. Loyd Mrs. Johnson (the science teacher) The homework is alot! and the school is challenging....but the best middle school in Irvine! -a former happy student :)” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2007-05-16 “Venado has been under new leadership for the past couple of years, and things are looking up. I expect that things will continue to improve as long as the current principal and assistant principal stay. However, there is still a lack of flexibility and high amount of stress on the students. There is still an exaggerated workload/learning ratio, which, in turn, hampers extracurricular activities. Parent involvement in Irvine is always high - the new administration seems much more willing to listen to parents' input. Teacher quality is mixed: there are some truly outstanding teachers and some truly awful ones (why don't teachers change careers if they don't like kids?) Definitely ask around, and believe what your kids tell you about their teachers.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 4 2007-02-01 “Venado Middle School is blue ribbon school and thouroughly deserves that award. The principal leadership is apparent throughout the school. The teachers are mostly experienced and provide a great and interesting place to learn. Its assortment of extracurricular sports activities make sure al the kids here are well-balanced. Parent integration is lacking but the supportivness is shown in the students. Speaking as a student, this school has provided a lot for my education. Its advanced classes are very challenging which brings my only major contreversy of the workload on students. On some nights the work can pile up to approx. 4 hours not excluding weekends. But overall this is an excellent school and place to grow.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2006-01-11 “It has been my experience that the staff and teachers at this school will assist students and their parents in any way possible. Our child has done better in this school than any other school to date. The students at this school are given every chance to succeed. Our only concern is the amount of homework that is assigned. There are occassions when out child will do homework util very late at night. Overall, we are quite pleased with this school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2005-09-18 “I am new in knowing this school.I have noticed that this school has a hi/deaf program aside with the regular prigram. Every one signs and most speak as well(except deaf). I was told that the school is challenging, which is a plus in my book! But, what I was concern that the hearing impaired students who are verbal might lose their speech due to extensive signing at the capus. The signing is an elective to take for the hearing students to encourage them to interact with deaf students and there are a lot of understanding of this deficit.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2005-06-03 “We are not very happy with this school: the classes are too big, children do not get enough attention.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2004-01-08 “Venado claims to be a 'blue ribbon school.' However, this is at the expense of children who don't conform to their rigidity. If you are a conformist and willing to subject your children to immense pressure in order to boost their test scores, Venado is probably right for you. However,
