Posted by a community member on 8/14/2025Students in the physical science honors class learn through scientific investigation. 2 labs a week where real scientific procedures are followed.
Posted by a teacher on 9/2/2022The teaching staff at Sgt. Paul R. Smith Middle School is fantastic. They truly value teamwork and go above and beyond to help each other so they can do what is best for the students. This is a high B school (that barely missed an A rating) and the students, staff and administration are great.
Posted by a teacher on 9/2/2022So proud of our namesake; students, faculty, and staff strive to emulate core values such as: courage, integrity, commitment, sacrifice, citizenship, and patriotism! Being part of a school named after a Tampa Medal of Honor Recipient is an HONOR!

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIt’s disheartening to see 1-star reviews from 2012 still impacting the perception of Citrus Park Elementary. Everyone deserves a second chance, and the school has seen many positive changes since then. Relying on old reviews can be misleading and doesn’t reflect the school’s current environment. Over the past decade, Citrus Park Elementary has undergone significant improvements, with new faculty and staff who are dedicated to fostering a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment for all students. Based on my own experiences, I can confidently attest to the professionalism, care, and commitment displayed by the office staff, teachers, and leadership. Judging the school based on outdated reviews is unfair, as the team is working diligently to provide the best possible experience for every child. The positive changes made over the years are a clear reflection of their efforts.Parent Review1y ago - Essrig Elementary School
