Summary

Citrus Ridge A Civics Academy in Davenport, FL, is a public school in the Polk district serving 1,108 students in grades PK through 8, located in the rapidly growing Four Corners area.

This school presents a unique "two schools" story. On one hand, it excels in advanced math: in 2025-2026, 84% of students passed Algebra 1 and 88% passed Geometry End-of-Course exams, far exceeding state averages. However, the vast majority of students struggle with grade-level math, with only 23% of 7th graders and 32% of 8th graders proficient in FAST Math—well below district and state averages. Reading scores are also consistently low. Despite its "Civics Academy" name, civics scores (81%) lag behind nearby schools like Davenport School Of The Arts (100%) and Celebration K-8 (83%). A major concern is chronic absenteeism at 44%, the highest among nearby peers and nearly triple that of high-performing schools like Davenport School of the Arts (16.6%).

Interestingly, the school spends more per student ($11,364) than many higher-performing neighbors, including Celebration K-8 ($10,098), suggesting funding alone isn't the issue. The school's challenges mirror those of its closest neighbor, Westside K-8 School, which also has low rankings and high absenteeism, pointing to area-wide factors. On a positive note, 5th grade science has shown improvement, rising from 24% proficiency in 2022-2023 to 48% in 2025-2026, though still below the state average of 60%.
