Came from big city education... So coming to the school with my children was quite a shock. I would…read moresay it a decent school but it doesn't deserve the 5 stars. I think they could do a little bit more to engage the kids. I also like to be involved in school too. I'm a very hands-on parent. Are there better schools out there? Yes... Are the pickings in slim? Yes. Just do your best to be involved. That's my advice.

I went to a football game ONCE to support my boyfriend and I was constantly tripped by kids and…read morekept seeing students fighting or/and making out underneath and behind the bleachers. I am never going again, my school does better at controlling their students than you guys are, and I go to Westport for goodness sake??? Also please learn how to actually play football, my dad's little league team could beat your guys player EASILY.

Dunnellon was once a great place to live but all good things come to an end…read more The push for over development. The faulty electrical grids. The push for water restrictions while still adding unlimited new houses by developers... The growing abundance of traffic and overcrowded roads. The Rainbow Springs park suffocating under overcrowding, rude people, trash and an overworked aquafilter from suntan oils alcohol and diapers. The lack of retail stores for these new people to shop.. All the above have basically begun the strangulation of a once great community. But the same greed that is driving voted in politicians in the Marion County Government is affecting all the smaller communities also.

If you've ever driven down a crappy old lime rock back road in The Sunshine State, you can show of…read moreyour appreciation or irritation to Dunnellon. Lime rock is a waste product of phosphate mining, and phosphate mining is the third largest industry in Florida and until recently Dunnellon was the self-proclaimed "Phosphate Center of the World" the industry makes money by having its waste mixed into asphalt as a paving material and used in many parts of Florida still today. It's principal used was as a fertilizer, the crown of the phosphate industry now resides in Mulberry a few hours south, driving through town it seems it's lost much more than its crown. I can't speak much of Dunnellon since my time here was brief, it lies west of Ocala and north of Homosassa. This town is located on the Rainbow and Withlacoochee rivers hence the reason I am here and probably the reason many of the town's visitors flock here, camping, kayaking and tubing on these beautiful rivers seem to be the draw.

My mom paid this place (over the phone) $50 for me to pick out a succulent garden dish. I didn't…read moreknow much about succulents before hand, but after choosing the dish, which was way over priced, I now found it that the plants were already rotted from the root. I took it to Blue Creek Garden Center & Florist who informed that the soil was not even the right soil for these plants. Blue Creek Garden Center kept my dish to try to save it, but seeing the roots already rotted they added new ones for me and charged me close to nothing!! They informed me on instructions and were very friendly and thorough, where the girl at Dunnellon Florist didn't know anything and didn't bother to get anyone to help. Will NEVER go here again and would not recommend this place!! Waste of money when someone was trying to do something nice.

We were craving a home-cooked comfort meal and they did not disappoint. The fried chicken? Golden, crispy perfection. The mac-n-cheese? Cheesy, creamy heaven. Add rice & gravy, collards, and green beans, and we were in full-on Southern food bliss. Because one round wasn't enough, we grabbed a to-go plate of meatloaf, rice & gravy, green beans, and yams for today's lunch goals. They're only open Thursday through Saturday, so plan ahead. The service was top notch!
