SO if you have more kids on the ESL plan then they receive more Federal Funding? hummmm, yeah real financially smart to retain kids as long as possible. You need to push the counselors around for a IEP otherwise they are lazy and then act dumb. That is after Mr Mom (as known as) the father forwarding them email(s). Requesting an IEP to transition our child to a EO Language arts class. (trust me I could of gone to Dept of Ed or the DISTRICT but other dumb things happened beyond my control) Over all my biggest concern is "The Counselors dept." are found to be lazy. Do you're self a favor and grab a copy of NOLO IEP's for Parents. Otherwise great community as in the neighborhood is safe and many of the kids are nice. My child never reported any other concern. I will wrap it up in a positive note. That the one thing I will always LOVE or have a happy memory of Citrus Intermediate School, is they were extremely nurturing with multicultural kids especially mine. That was just beautiful to see all kind of colors coming together in harmony. Now Imagine that! My child felt she was just like everyone else! They offered a "sense of belonging!" For that!!! I give them a 5 star all the way home. Thank you! For making this a multicultural friendly school. So as you can see why I gave them a 3 star and not a one star. ps. this took place in 2016

We have had such a wonderful experience at St. Edward School. From the moment we joined the school,…read morewe felt welcomed into a caring and supportive community. The sense of community here is truly one of the school's greatest strengths. Families, teachers, and staff genuinely care about one another, and it feels like everyone is invested in the students' success. A huge shoutout to Ms. Fleischner, who has been an incredible first-grade teacher. She is patient, kind, organized, and creates a classroom where her students feel supported, encouraged, and excited to learn every day. We couldn't have asked for a better teacher. She's our very own Ms. Frizzle We also love the enriching specialty classes the school offers. The Spanish program gives students a wonderful introduction to a second language, music class fosters creativity and confidence, STEM encourages hands-on learning and critical thinking, and PE keeps the kids active while teaching teamwork and good sportsmanship. One of the things that makes St. Edward so special is the fun events PTG plans throughout the year. Activities like Pumpkinfest and Winter Wonderland create lasting memories for the students and bring families together. These events really add to the close-knit community and make school fun beyond the classroom. We are so grateful to be part of the St. Edward family and highly recommend the school to any family looking for an excellent education in a nurturing, faith-filled environment with an amazing sense of community.

This school was beyond disappointing. I enrolled my daughter here for a year, (8 y/o) who was…read moreconstantly bullied by other children just by her looks. The current principle did absolutely nothing to solve the issue. Another thing are the nuns. They are kind ladies, though too strict and stingy. My daughter takes Spanish with them, and they teach your children absolutely nothing. Apparently they are a new addition to the school, though they are very ineffective and unapproachable. They show lack of empathy for student struggles, display favoritism, and are completely disconnected from their students' learning needs. Despite all this, it is only the tip of the iceberg. Not only them, but pretty much every other teacher/aid is like this. St. Edward is only after your money, and does not care for your children's education. Save your time (and money), go find a better catholic school.

This school was a terrible experience for me. Even some of the rude students were kinder than many…read moreof my teachers. By my second week there, I already felt miserable. A lot of students acted like they could get away with anything, even being able to do so, while my friends and I would get in trouble for the smallest things. Many of the insecurities I struggle with started there. Some teachers would call students out publicly over minor issues, which only made things worse and made me more insecure about my issues. One of my classmates even broke my glasses, and when my mom and I spoke to the vice principal about it, it felt like she didn't care and even found the situation amusing. Thankfully, I had a few good friends who helped me get through the school year. There were constant fights in and outside the school, which made me afraid to report how I was being treated. Some students would hold their phones over restroom stalls to take pictures of other students and show them to their friends. I was one of the students targeted. Since then, that experience has continued to affect me, and every time I saw those students, they wanted to start problems or fight me. My time at this school had made a serious impact on my mental health for almost over a year. I took antidepressants, and at one point I attempted to take my own life. I understand that middle school can be difficult, but no student deserves to be treated this way. What makes it even more upsetting is that many students have shared similar experiences over the years, yet it seems like little was done to address them. (I also want to mention that this review is based on my experiences from 2021-2023. The school may have changed since then, and I hope it has improved for current students. However, I still felt it was important to speak out about the issues I personally experienced during my time there.)

I was a former student at this middle school (2016 to 2018), and looking back, I feel compelled to…read moreshare my experience, as it had a profound impact on my life. During my time here, I had high hopes of making friends, unfortunately that wasn't as planned. I remember coming into the school, hoping to make friends right off the bat, but it didn't quite turn out that way. I was surrounded by classmates who frequently displayed disruptive conduct, and I experienced peer pressure to imitate their antics in an effort to fit in, which just made me feel more out of place. I am a full Hispanic girl who, surprisingly, never learned to speak Spanish throughout my life.I also favored indoor activities to outdoor ones, which made me paler-skinned than some of my peers at the time. My appearance and lack of proficiency in the Spanish language became a target for ridicule. I was called names like "White" or told that I couldn't be Mexican because I couldn't speak Spanish. One particularly distressing incident stands out in my memory. I was assaulted by another student and had to be taken to the principal's office. Instead of finding support, my mom and I were met with hostility from the principal, who engaged in a confrontation with my mom. This ultimately led to my mom filing a police report, which, unfortunately, only made my situation worse. I became a target for more ridicule and even received threats at one point. The trauma from those years has stayed with me, but with time, I have grown older and more mature. I'm now attending a four-year university alongside my older sister, with the support of my dog and wonderful roommates who all love me just the way I am. It feels like the right time to share my experience with others, as a way of letting go of the past. Despite the challenges, there were a few bright spots during my time at the school. I cherish the very few individuals who saw the good in me and accepted me for who I am. Additionally, there was one special teacher who played a significant role in my life. not only my teacher but also became one of my best friends, providing the support I needed to make it through those difficult years. To that teacher, the one who picked me for student of the month, the one who let me (along with other students) sit in your classroom during lunch, you know who you are, if you are reading this, I am forever grateful for your kindness and friendship during my time in that hell hole.
