Dare is an award-winning Green Zone school. This is embedded in the school culture and in each classroom. There is not only a focus preventing bullying, but there is a major focus on character building that makes getting along well, community, and inclusiveness the better option for all children.

School leadership is exceptional at this school. They ensure a safe, effective learning environment. They communicate well and often with families. They deal with behavior problems fairly, effectively, and in constructive, growth-focused ways. They are always personable, professional, and respectful in their interactions with students and parents alike.

Children with learning differences are providing all the support that they need in a timely manner. There is a strong focus on inclusiveness and ensuring that all children are well-supported in their main classroom as much as possible.

My experience with the school has been very positive. Because of the leadership, teachers, and culture, Dare provides both a high-quality education and a character enriching experience. The current leadership particularly manages the school exceptionally well, ensuring that resources are put to great use and that there is a consistent focus on quality instruction and a strong school community throughout. There is also a strong PTA presence at this school. Children also benefit from clubs, great field trips each year, and a variety of school-wide events.

After conducting a study at the school, the determined that less homework, with a focus on reading and targeted practice was best. Students have minimal homework, along with school-wide nightly reading.

My child has attended Dare for years, and each teacher has been very well-qualified, effective in the classroom, caring, communicative, and effective at behavior management in the class.

My son has been going to Dare for 2 years. We both love this school. They have an amazing principle, Mrs. Cacaccvale, and outstanding teachers. I feel all students are treated fairly.

Some teachers better then others. Some administration better then others. Positive and inviting PTA . Seems like there is a new activity every month for children and their families to engage in. Small town feel, some teachers are a little to personal with other parents . Some favoritism with admin. And teachers . A lot of teacher and administrations Children attend this school . Not sure how fair that can be to the other students/teachers. Bottom line is I would give the school a solid B.

My son have been going here for 3 years now. It is one of the best schools I have ever seen. They have helped my middle son out so much. He has Asperger's syndrome. Which make it hard for him to learn. But he has been doing so good this year. I would recommend this to anyone moving to Yorktown.

My son attended Dare for 4 years and has loved it. The quality of teachers is amazing and they teach respect of others. I would highly recommend Dare to anyone moving to the area. I'm sad we are moving and will be unable for my son to finish out his last year at Dare. Great school!

My daughter comes home almost everyday with homework, which I like. There are always activities that encourage the parents to be involved. Wish they had a better process at dismissal. They have some safe guards but I still feel it could be better.

I think this school is excellent and the teachers are great. Both my daughters attend this school and I cannot wait for my son to become of age so he can go to Dare Elementary.

Going the way of anti-Christian. Not of sound moral values when the principal refuses to acknowledge the "reason for the season"
