“Not too bad, it isnt the cleanest school but the teachers are good people. I just wish it would stop focusing on doing stupid stuff and try and fix the real problems for the school.”

“My children attend this school. There's no denying that Dutrow had earned quite a negative reputation by around five years ago. I was very hesitant about sending my eldest here, but the school she was zoned for was an absolute nightmare. What you truly can't deny is that there is a serious issue in NN schools where some schools are absolute h&!!holes while a few are extraordinary... which are nearly impossible to get into with the magnet program. Deer Park and Hilton have something like 3% of magnet applicants accepted. The open grade "pod" setting isn't for every child, and it can be difficult for some children to adjust to. Other kids seem to do very well here. However, the staff and teachers have been extraordinary. There are going to be issues in school like bullying... there's no avoiding it. However, the extent to which the administration and teachers are involved is honestly the most extensive I've ever seen in any school, including the ones I went to! Dutrow has spent the past few years implementing and trying out new educational and involvement strategies. It's definitely noisier, especially since the kids are often moving, like for lessons, projects, or experiments outside. There is concern about making sure kids are prepared for standardized testing, because there has to be. This is any school in the country, whether they use the terms or not. But the teachers have more support than I've ever seen (I will not pretend to claim to have inside knowledge of this, and I'm sure there are flaws, but I have personally seen some horror stories). The administration is communicative and works to resolve issues quickly. My kids have gotten in trouble before, usually for talking or goofing off, which I have been made aware of. They have consequences, but have never been made to feel like they're "bad" or disliked. On the contrary, teachers and support staff have made extra effort to point out when kids are doing well or behaving, especially those who have more difficulty doing so. That's not to say that they don't take problems seriously... if you misbehave frequently, it will not be ignored. My child has had a few issues with other kids, and they were dealt with within hours and disciplinary procedures resulted. However, what truly impressed me was the fact that with any problem, they took the extra effort to discuss it with the kids who were around but not involved, and they try to reconcile the kids who are involved. I won't pretend it's perfect, but show me a school that is. Every kid is different and needs something different, and this school tries to work with that. Honestly, the best way I can describe the expressions on the faces of the staff is as wearing "exhausted smiles." Some days, the smiles might be more of a grimace, but I have yet to meet someone there who truly doesn't seem like they love these children, every single one. I've seen teachers at other schools talk about my child like their own and then look at a "troublemaker" like they would look at poop on their shoe, and talk to them worse. Once , I saw a kid behave in ways that made my ovaries shrivel up and die. The teacher and an administrator were both in control of the situation and handled it well. But I noticed some weeks later, the same administrator making sure to say hello and wave to the same student, and the teacher praising them for something. You couldn't tell that this was a kid capable of that kind of behavior. How do I see all this? Well, a potential downfall for some parents is that as an exclusively magnet school, parent participation and volunteer hours are required. Also, parents are welcome to come visit, and encouraged to join their children for lunch, special activities, etc. While the requirements are low, you often find yourself joining them more often than you'd expect. I truly have loved this school for my kids.”

“We are SO happy we found Trinity preschool 6 years ago! The positive environment the director and teachers have created shows the moment you walk through the doors. Small class sizes provides the perfect student to teacher ratio. Being an early childhood teacher, I was very picky when looking at preschools for our oldest son, and I knew right after our tour that this was the place all our children would attend. It prepared both my son's for Kindergarten, and they have great memories from their preschool days. Field trips, picnics, and musical programs create opportunities for the whole family to be a part of the school. I cannot say enough about how much we love Trinity Preschool. We are so excited our youngest daughter will be attending there in the Fall!”

“My boys attended this camp from the age of 6 and 9 until my younger son aged out at 14 years old. And my older son volunteered for 3 years after he aged out. Completely free to the families, full of amazing opportunities and a bunch of amazing friendships that will last them a lifetime. It was like a family. They learn to swim everyday, go on field trips, give them a full day of learning and fun. I can't say enough great things about Horizons.”

“I have been training at this dojo for several years now. I enjoy everything about it. The instructors are top notch, and I am appreciative of everything I have been taught. Switching from the Gracie to the Pedro Sauer system is broadening my perspective and refining my technique on a different level. The dojo is always clean and the instruction is very technical. I will say that instead of only training 1 or 2 levels deep on a technique, we now go "deep into the rabbit hole". This allows everyone at different experience levels to get better. Keep up the great work!”

“Returning to work after 4 months after my son was born, sending my son to daycare had my stomach in knots. Specially not knowing anybody and no family members in the area because we are new to the state of Virginia due to my husband's navy orders. After visiting and interviewing over 15 daycare providers I came across Ms. Susan I NEVER felt more comfortable leaving my son . I know when he is with her he's in great hands, safe and loved and she's truly cares about his well being, and when he gets home after her care he is all smiles and happy. Her home feels homey and clean. I totally recommend her to anybody looking for home daycare Ms. Susan is the person to go.”
