Welcome

      Welcome to Central Ridge Elementary School, Citrus County's Newest School! We opened our doors to students for the first time on August 18th, 2008. We are excited for the opportunity to work with our parents and the community to provide the education every child deserves.  The teachers and staff at Central Ridge strive to maintain the educational excellence that parents have come to expect of the Citrus County School District. The State of Florida has rated Citrus County School District as a top rated district in the  state.
      We are committed at Central Ridge to provide all of our students with the academic and social skills to promote a healthy, and successful educational career both after elementary school and beyond.  Together, we CAN make a difference!


Thank You Ridgebacks!

     School is out on June 5th. We would like to wish all of our students and parents a safe and restful summer. You truly deserve it. With your help, Central Ridge has had an amazing and successful first year. It doesnt even seem like we had opened a new school, but with our amazing ridgebacks and parents it felt like we have been in operation for years. Thank You again for an amazing year.

Media Center Open During the Summer

The Central Ridge Media Center will be open during the summer months on Tuesdays form 9am to 12pm.  This time will provide students and their parents the opportunity to check out books, participate in optional reading activities, use Study Island, and take AR tests.  This program is free for our students and their parents. We do ask that parents remain with their child while they are at the media center, as it is important for children to experience the joy of learning with their parents.

Come and join Mrs. Morrow  for some reading  fun this summer!
