It's a matter of performance. Put your CSS as close to the top of the <head> as possible, and put your JavaScript as close to the bottom of the <body> as possible. This is because browsers try to load everything in parallel but block while loading, compiling and executing JavaScript (because it could potentially alter the following HTML - e.g. using document.write). You can try to work around this but if you just want to include <script> tags in your HTML without any fancy tricks to load scripts using iframes or xhr evals or injections then move your <script> tags to the bottom of your page.
