School is very gross and school has very rude staff none of the staff care about you the school is very unorganized and is not helpful teachers do not know how to teach students are very rude and disrespectful lots of fights and arguing

Citrus Springs Middle School is easily one of the most neglectful school environments I’ve been in. The biggest issue isn’t just bad teaching—it’s the complete lack of care. Students aren’t supported, they’re managed, and barely at that.The teaching quality is inconsistent at best. Many classes feel like the teacher is just handing out assignments with little explanation, minimal engagement, and zero effort to make sure anyone actually understands what’s going on. If you fall behind, you’re pretty much on your own. Asking for help often feels like an inconvenience to them rather than part of their job.But the most serious problem is how bullying is handled—or more accurately, ignored. Students can report the same issue multiple times and nothing meaningful happens. Situations get brushed off as “drama” or “kids being kids,” even when it’s clearly repeated behavior. Staff will sometimes tell students to “just avoid them” instead of addressing the actual problem, which does nothing except shift the responsibility onto the person being targeted. Meanwhile, the behavior continues, and everyone knows it.There’s no real sense of accountability. Disruptive or harmful behavior is tolerated far too often, and it creates an environment where students don’t feel safe speaking up because they don’t expect anything to change. Over time, that kind of environment wears people down.This school doesn’t feel like a place that prioritizes education or student well-being. It feels like a system that’s just trying to get through the day with as little effort as possible. If you’re considering this school, take a hard look at other options—because settling for this environment means accepting that your child may not get the support, safety, or attention they actually need.

This school is truly exceptional and strive to make all students successful.
