My son entered into Citrus Ridge as an 8th grader. He has excellent grades and is an overall great kid. I was hesitant about this school, but it was in district and I could not charter him out at the time. I watched him go from a happy kid to isolating and down all the time. After months, he finally admitted that kids love to call him gay. They love to use racial slurs. They talk about drug use and are constantly disruptive. This happens on a regular basis and in the classroom. I took him out. He often complained about the lack of control by teachers in science and math. He said kids have no discipline and teachers outside of a couple brush it off. Hell I was told by the school counselor that kids will be kids, before I found out just how bad it was. We plan to file a report against those students. I love how public schools tot their all inclusive theology, yet they can't stand up to it right in front of their faces. Call the principle she may call you back once and she will never follow up. Car lines run 30-40 minutes everyday. They move kids from class to class without informing the parent. I have never written a review on a school. Please listen to me, if you love your kids. This is not a good school!

My experience at Davenport High School was overall disappointing. The academic environment lacked real engagement, with many teachers showing little interest in their students' learning. Assignments were often submitted without ever being reviewed, yet students frequently received perfect scores regardless of the effort or quality. Most instruction consisted of reading directly off PowerPoint slides followed by an online quiz, with minimal interaction or meaningful teaching.Beyond the classroom, the school's leadership was just as disorganized. The principals, deans, coaches, and athletic directors often seemed to be operating in opposition to one another—frequently butting heads and sending mixed messages to students. This lack of unity created confusion and inconsistency across the school. There was also a noticeable culture of favoritism, with certain students being given clear preference, especially in athletics and extracurriculars, while others were overlooked or unsupported.Overall, there was very little sense of community or care at Davenport High School. Students who needed help often didn’t receive it, and the environment felt more fragmented than collaborative. I would not recommend this school to anyone looking for a supportive, cohesive, or academically serious environment.
