Citrus Park Christian School

This is an outstanding school! As a recent high school graduate I can honestly say that Citrus Park has prepared me well. I have attended citrus Park for 13 years and I could not have been anywhere better. The teachers actually care about the students grades and their faith. Citrus Park isn't just a school, its a family. I have made so many close friends that I know I will have for life. As far as academics go, I feel well prepared. Although they don't have a wide range of classes, the ones they do have are phenomenal. I'm heading to Florida Southern with scholarships for $15,000 which means citrus Park has prepared me well. Some kids fit in well with the small environment and others do not. It depends on the person and even sometimes their attitude. But remember, you can't get this kind of education at public school. You get to spend time talking about God in every subject. That's something Im truly blessed to have been part of.

Great school this is not! The elementary program is ok however the middle school and high school leave something to be desired. He academics are far behind public schools. Children are picked on and bullied and principal is never available to talk or address the matter. I would never recommend this school. Save your money and just enroll in public school!

After having children enrolled in over 20 schools this has by far been the best. A great Christian school that applies their beliefs to their education and their principles/standards.

My child has been a student at CPCS since preschool and we could not be happier. She has recieved an excellent education, and is ahead of the current public school grade equivilent. The opportunities to participate in sports have been rewarding, as well...we love the new after school program!

We really wanted this school to work, we tried everything and it is absolutely horrible. My children went for a couple years and did extremely well by "their standards" . We started public school this year and they are in special programs to bring them up with the rest of the class, they learned absolutely NOTHING here. Not to mention one of mine was constantly bullied and no one did anything about it. There are a bunch of parents that "run the school" and dictate everything that goes on there. If your child and one of the "big contributors" children have a problem you mine as well just pack up and leave because you will be fighting an uphill battle. None of the rules apply to them. Most of the teachers are parents of students and poorly qualified to teach. Multiple children left the same year we did, three in my sons class. The school is out of hand! I would recommend avoiding this drama at all costs!

The school today is not what it was years ago when I was attending. The teachers back then were highly qualified, but now they don't seem to be qualified as much. It's a shame; but it is what happens when the school can't pay enough for highly qualified teachers.

My son has attended CPCS during his four years of high school. He received an excellent education , evident by his grades, SAT scores and full scholarship. His instructors were qualified (Master's Degree ) and they genuinely took an interest in my son. But, if you are not a devote practicing Christian, then be prepared for your child to feel ostracized and treated as an outcast.

I am sorry to state that I wish I had never enrolled my children in Citrus Park. This has been the worse possible decision in my life and am so happy that the school year is almost over. The curriculum is good, but any curriculum is only as good as those teaching it. For the price of the tuition, you would think they would hire qualified teachers. There are a few good teachers; for example the science and English teachers are excellent, but the math teacher does not teach the students; Those who are good have to teach themselves in a group, and the others just cover the material with the teacher but are not really taught.

The hypocrisy, as is true with many Christian schools lately, is rampant and quite literally, out of control. Although there are some good teachers employed by the private school, many of the staff are not qualified for the specific subject that they teach (for instance, a staff member with a Bible major teaches high school mathematics). This is unacceptable, especially when you are paying good money for a quality education. As for the Bob Jones University curriculum, there is a reason that nobody recognizes it as legitimate curriculi outside of the Christian circles...

This is the worst school i have ever seen They hire parents to be teachers and by that i mean bad teachers there school doors and any material they have is very cheap Including that the teachers are liars and side in with other students the academics are terrible
