The new principal has taken this school to new levels. Both academically and with extracurriculars. The teachers seem to work together well and communicate often. The school even looks better, it is well manicured and clean every time I come. I've always had a good experience with staff, and the teachers here really care about student success.

The teachers are awesome, the lack of respect you get from calling the office is incredible very disrespectful, they make you feel not wanted. The schools hallway are very dirty. Dropping your kids off and trying to find a parking space it's almost impossible with the lack of supervision. It seems like the parents are always fighting with the crossing guard, the lack of respect on both sides is incredible no one has gotten hurt. But it's a shame that the kids have to hear all that swearing and all the fighting in the morning and in the afternoon when they're being dropped and picked u... Why have security there?. The security guards are the worst, all they do is open and close the gates and that's all. But like I said the teachers are awesome the rest of the people they need some sensitivity training or some type of training.

The school has come a long way. Most teachers are highly qualified, now the school has fences all around, gates are closed during the school day, a security seats at the entrance, a security walks the hallways, there is supervision in the cafeteria. The school went up 84 points in the FCAT scores in 2013-2014 staying 14 points shy of getting a B. Go Citrus!!!

I agree with the concern of the parents about security and safety. the do forget to close the gates many time and is really easy to get in, I am there every day dropping of my children. I think many of the teachers are great and my children do awesome and get great grades but they do need better security and facilities, the toilets don't have seats or toilet paper and are dirty. not enough security and clean up crew, crowded classes etc...

En esta escuela los ninos no tienen ninguna seguridad,entran y salen sin supervision alguna,el dia de ayer yo personalmente camine toda el area de la escuela,despues de terminadas las clases y cuando todavia havian ninos en la escuela en diferentes actividades y nadie me pregunto,quien yo era ni que queria,igual lo puede hacer cualquier maleante,he visto a los de la seguridad de la escuela faltarse el respeto entre ellos mismos,y frente a los estudiantes,no hay a quien preguntarle nada y todos tienen malas caras,aunque creo que mi hija tiene una buena maestra,tambien creo que esta escuela necesita una mejor direccion y un poco mas de interes por el bienestar de nuestros ninos,la verdad no me parece una buena escuela en terminos generales.

This is the worst school my son has been bullied and the office staff have not yet done anything about it, the Assistant Principal is the worst she seems like she cares but never gets anyhting solved . there's was a kid bullied in the boys bathroom and they tried to keep disclosure about the situation i hope the school district gets on their case about all these kids getting bullied
