Best ESE public program in the area... hands down. The administration... the teachers... the support staff is amazing! My kids LOVE going to Cimino. I love that I get answers the same day and the communication between the staff and the parents is amazing. I LOVE this school and couldn't imagine sending my kids anywhere else!

My son has attended this school for 2 years and I also am a PTA member and media volunteer. I love Cimino. The teachers and staff are always nice and caring. The school just won the National Character Award. It is a great group of kids and they get this way from great parents and staff.

I have three children attending this school and we have been in the area for 2 years now. All of my children love the school and teachers. They care for the children and communicate well with the parents. Any time I have had a question it has been answered quickly. The children are always coming home and speaking to us about wonderful things they did in school. The school is active in the community and offers many opportunities to interact outside of school with the other studants and their families.

The administrative staff at this school, especially in the area of guidance, is sadly lacking in simple courtesy and community service commitment and cooperation. I pray that their lack of values does not impact the lives of the students in attendance.
