We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

From moving to a small town you come to understand the full system Is ran by the good old boys. The concern is coverup and figure out how to get more on the paycheck. There is no real concern for students or parents. Things get brushed under the rug and covered up. It's worrisome. Let DO BETTER FOR OUR KIDS!!! Step it up and a clean house needs to be done.

I enjoy being in Citrus High School, for they have a wide variety of educational promises. This school is also home to the Academy of Computer Sciences, which is a great way for those interested in technology to get a head start on their technological career. This school also promotes for students to find success by any means necessary, which I believe to be a good thing, for everyone has a different definition of success.

My grand daughter attends CHS this is her first year there. So far it has been a positive experience for her. The teachers seem to take a honest interest in the students. The only thing I do not understand is why the rating is so low it should at least be an 8 if not a 9.

My grandson is about to enter CHS and everything I have encountered with CHS to date has been quite impressive. Our experience with IMS from which my grandson is coming has been an outstanding experience, one he will cherish into adult life. Having been in the community for less than two years I can...
