Stony Brook Elementary School

People move to this community for our schools. The rate for this school is 100% inaccurate. It’s a charming school, with engaging teachers. A very safe and quaint, walkable town. Everyone knows each other. Each of our 4 elementary schools feed into 1 middle school then 1 high school. We have 4 children and never plan to live anywhere. If you’ve seen the astronomical housing cost growth, it seems others are eager to move here.

We are extremely happy with our experience at Ben Franklin Elementary School. The school provides a warm, welcoming environment where students feel safe, supported, and encouraged to grow.The teachers are truly dedicated and go above and beyond to ensure each child succeeds academically and personally. Communication from the staff is clear and consistent, which makes it easy for parents to stay involved.We especially appreciate the strong sense of community and the focus on both education and character development. Our child looks forward to going to school every day, which says a lot!Overall, a wonderful school—we couldn’t be happier with our decision. Highly recommend to any family in the area.

My son is keep improving. Teachers are doing a great job.

I pulled my four-year-old son from the Pre-4 class at St. Ann's and know others who have pulled their children from the school, as well. My son was belittled, at *four years old* for not being able to read and write yet. He spent his time in pre-school doing worksheets instead of playing. He began telling me he did not want to go back to school, and it is no wonder. The teacher was incredibly rude and condescending to my son's grandmother, criticizing my son *in front of him.* After pulling my son from the school, all of my requests to meet with the principal were ignored. St. Ann's also kept the remainder of my tuition for the rest of the year, despite the fact that I was forced to pull him from the school because of their teacher. Do not send your preschooler to this school!!

Bad school, even worse administrators - they sued hurricane victims for unpaid tuition fees for an entire year when their child didn’t spend one day at school.
