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.

Absolutely terrible. Everything from teachers telling students they can't charge iPads because there's not enough outlets when their class has the most outlets out of any classroom in the entire school to the lunch being absolute crap worse than bad fast food "milk" is often spoiled portions are preposterous not enough for a 10 year old let alone a growing teen you can see the failure of the nutritional system of citrus county schools by looking at the size of students many freshmen are the size of 8 year olds. Some teachers care some don't. sports programs are pretty alright except 1

This school is bad. Its really dirty, smells. The staff do not care about my child’s feelings. I do not recommend.
