I wish the school had "After School Tutoring" my niece is in need of this- I am trying to get little workbooks and taking her to the library to help her, but I can only do so much- she needs more help than I can offer, she has problems of connecting and concentrating about math,word problems and money.

My daughter has been going to Stony Point South for 3 years, and is currently a 5th grader. She and I both love Stony Point South. The teachers are phenomenal and they reall y do care about the studens. The principal there also does a wonderful job of keeping the parents informed on inforamation that pertains to both the school and the students. I am really going to miss Stony Point South, when my daughter goes off to middle school.

I love my son school. He is in kindergarten and I can't believe how much stuff he has learned this year!!! You wouldn't believe how much stuff they teach the children in kindergarten and the technique they use. My son actually remembers it all! I don't want to move just so all three of my kids can have the chance to attend Stoney Point South.

I am very happy with the education both my sons have received. The entire staff is friendly and well informed about events in the school. They really encourage the students to learn and reward them quite often, I could not ask for a better school.
