CITRUS SPRINGS CHARTER

Citrus Springs Charter is a Title I public charter school that is part of the Orange County Department of Education school district, located in Santa Ana, CA with about 263 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 10th 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 8 teachers, Citrus Springs Charter has a student/teacher ratio of about 32:1. 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.

Citrus Springs Charter School is part of the broader Springs Charter Schools network, a non-profit public school organization serving thousands of students across Southern California. Located in Santa Ana, the school operates as a tuition-free public charter, offering families an alternative to the traditional classroom model. It is designed to provide a highly flexible, personalized educational experience that emphasizes student choice and parental involvement in the learning process.

The school is well-regarded for its diverse range of instructional programs, which cater to different learning styles through a mix of home-based study, independent study, and hybrid options. By focusing on a "personalized learning" philosophy, Citrus Springs allows students to progress at their own pace while receiving support from credentialed teachers. This model is particularly popular among families who desire a more customized curriculum or a specialized educational path that integrates traditional academic standards with extracurricular interests.
