Many of the teachers have been great! Administration should be more organized and work together. Not enough parent and community involvement in student life, long before pandemic and this really shows.
Just seems I have had to do all the fight for my children education and this is sad, because there are so many children in our community that don’t seem to have that.

Overall, Citrus County Schools offer very valuable opportunities to their students. The honors programs offered in high schools, specifically the IB Program at Lecanto High and the Medical Academy at Crystal River High, are offered free to students. In other regions of the United States, even in South Florida, these programs are very costly. The county also offers each student a leased iPad. The teachers are overall passionate with the exception of the occasional rude staff member. Overall, the schools successfully create a safe, caring environment for their students. This district is specifically strict about both drugs and bullying, as they have a no-tolerance policy which is followed closely. I would definitely note the difference in the conditions of the schools: Crystal River High is definitely better maintained than the others. Overall, I have had a very positive experience attending school within this county and believe it is truly a hidden gem in terms of education.
I've attended Inverness Primary School, Inverness Middle School, and are currently enrolled at Lecanto High School. IPS is the only school worth really recommending with it being a good school. IMS has a lot of issues with poor administration, along with LHS. Diversity is poor due to the general county, and sports get a majority of the funding, as with a lot of schools. However, I've had my share of life changing teachers, so Citrus County Schools aren't the worst possible.
