The School District
The Ventura
Community School District is located in Cerro Gordo and Hancock
counties in North Central Iowa. The district encompasses
approximately 92 square miles of rural and city residences,
which include a portion of homes within the city limits of Clear
Lake. The current school location overlooks the west shore of
Clear Lake where students, staff, and community take advantage
of one of the most picturesque settings in the state of Iowa.
The district has made a serious commitment to maintain and
improve facilities. In recent years, a $2 million addition was
completed to the secondary building including a new gym, locker
rooms and lunchroom. Previous improvements have included a media
center with elevator access, science laboratories, vocational
agriculture classroom area and shop area and two computer
laboratories. At the elementary building, a new media center has
been added that includes a computer lab. This project included a
classroom for art as well as a classroom for students with
special needs. The district was one of the first in the state to
offer all-day, everyday and is noted for its commitment to early
childhood education, small class size, and family involvement.
Both
Community support and student achievement are highly regarded by
Ventura Community Schools.
