7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageHorrible special education teacher Holly Gutierrez. Tara Towne-Robins is unhelpful, rude and loves to nitpick, instead of lifting a finger to help. Attendance is an absolute mess. I took my child out as soon as possible. Everyone there is passive aggressive and expects you to read their minds, but never actually contact you and let you know what’s going on. Also, make sure you sign EVERYTHING, even optional documents or they threaten you. My child was so stressed she became Ill.Parent Review3y ago - Chico High School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAbsolutely horrible school. They have no one communicating with each other. The counselors are MIA and never call amyone back. Same goes for the principals and the front desks. The only one that will ever call back is the attendance person (pfcourse because if the kids dont show up the school doesnt get funded) which is why im honeschooling now. Oroville High is much much better. They should be ashamed of themselves.Parent Review2y ago - Citrus Avenue Elementary School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSince Principal Shirley Williams arrived four years ago, Citrus has been transformed. She got rid of the dead wood on the teaching staff - and there was a lot of it - and hired fantastic new young excited teachers who are super tech-savvy and enthusiastic. There are tens of thousands of dollars of new books in the library and a new standard of behavior expectations. A partnership with a community group has resulted in two new computer labs and a student store where kids spend "power paws" they earn by going above and beyond the call of duty. Parents are participating in greater numbers as they feel welcomed and encouraged. There is a real family culture at the school and the kids are cherished.Teacher Review11y ago
