CITRUS COUNTY RENAISSANCE CENTER

CITRUS COUNTY RENAISSANCE CENTER is a Title I public high school that is part of the CITRUS school district, located in LECANTO, FL with about 120 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 7 teachers, CITRUS COUNTY RENAISSANCE CENTER has a student/teacher ratio of about 17:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The CITRUS COUNTY RENAISSANCE CENTER, located in Lecanto, Florida, serves as the alternative education hub for the Citrus County School District. Designed to support students who may not thrive in a traditional comprehensive high school environment, the center provides a variety of specialized programs—including credit recovery, behavioral support, and accelerated learning pathways—aimed at helping students stay on track for graduation. By offering a smaller, more focused setting, the school provides personalized attention to help students overcome academic and personal obstacles.

Beyond standard academics, the Renaissance Center emphasizes a holistic approach to student development, prioritizing character building, attendance, and social-emotional growth. The faculty and staff work closely with students to create individualized learning plans that cater to their unique needs and post-secondary goals. Ultimately, the school serves as a vital resource within the district, providing a bridge for students to earn their diplomas and successfully transition into the workforce, military, or higher education.
