With its home base in nearby Bradenton, the State College of Florida, Manatee-Sarasota serves west-central Florida with three locations around the region. The Venice campus sits adjacent to the Tamiami Trail, sandwiched between the cities of Venice and North Port. While the college’s main campus is up the road in Bradenton, this location offers a full-service college experience, with its own student center and facilities dedicated to science, the fine arts, and professional development. The performance pavilion on the west side of the property regularly hosts music and theater productions.The area immediately surrounding the campus is lightly developed, and most of the nearby neighborhoods are slightly outside convenient walking distance. The most affordable nearby rental options are typically found to the east in North Point, while the subdivisions between campus and the city of Venice tend to offer upscale condos and rental houses. Sarasota, Fort Myers, and Tampa are all within a short drive, and of course the local beaches are always popular weekend destinations.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
