Summary

Crystal River High School is a public high school located in Crystal River, Florida, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,312 students. The school is part of the Citrus School District, which is ranked 51 out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past several years, Crystal River High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Florida high schools, typically falling between the 380th and 499th position out of 700-800 schools.

Crystal River High School consistently underperforms compared to the Citrus district and the state of Florida in standardized test scores. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school had significantly lower proficiency rates in Algebra 1 (21% vs. 45% district, 60% state), Geometry (38% vs. 46% district, 55% state), and 10th grade English Language Arts (51% vs. 51% district, 58% state). Additionally, the school has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 30.9% to 47.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 51.45% to 66.86% over the past few years, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.

When comparing Crystal River High School to other nearby high schools in the Citrus district, it becomes evident that the school is generally underperforming academically. For instance, Lecanto High School and the Academy of Environmental Science, both within the same district, have significantly higher proficiency rates in core subject areas and higher overall rankings. The data suggests that Crystal River High School could benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the areas of academic underperformance, chronic absenteeism, and the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population.
