My daughter learned more in her pre-school than in Stony Brook. She was actually ahead of what they were teaching in her class and so she was bored. When we had issues with the school they just turn the other cheek. To this day they make it very difficult for me to attend any school functions and my daughter is suffering because of it.

I attended this school and i thought this might i have the best 4 years of my life. Stony Brook helps a chid when they're having problems such as educational, conflict, at home. This school has loyal and respectful teachers that care for every one of thier students. The school is very clean and enviromental.

Stony brook school does not provide children with adequate resolutions. Instead handling an issue for example a child with a possible behavior dysfunction (adhd) instead tackling and handling and providing that child with the proper tools, they rather dispose of this child and transfer them to another school. Avoiding any attempt to help but to ignore and wash their hands of any wrong doing. Stony brook school has failed many times.
