Summary

Cimino Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Valrico, Florida, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 809 students. As part of the Hillsborough County School District, Cimino Elementary has consistently maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing above average compared to other elementary schools in the state.

Cimino Elementary's key strengths include its strong academic performance, with students consistently outperforming the district and state averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Cimino's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 68% compared to 53% for Hillsborough and 57% for Florida. The school also spends more per student ($11,436 in 2023-2024) compared to the state and district averages, which may contribute to its strong academic outcomes. However, Cimino Elementary has a higher chronic absenteeism rate compared to the state average, ranging from 24.1% to 31.4% over the past few years, which is an area the school could focus on improving.

When comparing Cimino Elementary to nearby schools in the same district, it performs significantly better than some schools like Nelson Elementary and Alafia Elementary, but lags behind high-performing schools like Fishhawk Creek Elementary, Stowers Elementary, and Bevis Elementary in terms of test scores and overall school rankings.

This school was amazing for my children. The teachers are some of the best I have ever had to work with. They are so involved and truly care for the children and their families. Close Quote

It is a fact that when schools and parents are in partnership in the education of their children, the children will succeed. Unfortunatly the leadership at this school believes that they are raising the children. There are a group of "approved" parents who are welcome in the school and all other parents are restricted. Information as to what is going on at the school is limited and at most times either with very little notice or after the fact. The open hostility towards parents is some thing that I have never seen before. Close Quote
