The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students.

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.

Citrus High School is unique. There were some good teachers and some good administration but overall I did not enjoy being enrolled there. Eventually, it got so bad that I decided to switch to online schooling.
