Three Village Central School District
Three Village Central School District is a school district located in Long Island, New York. It serves Setauket, East Setauket, South Setauket, Stony Brook, Poquott, Head of the Harbor, Old Field, and small portions of Port Jefferson, Saint James and Lake Grove. Its name came from the older, original "Three Villages" of Setauket, Stony Brook and Old Field after the merger of the Stony Brook and Setauket school districts in the 1960s. Ward Melville, a local philanthropist, was a proponent of the Three Village school district, and contributed land for its new schools.
The school district is renowned for its InSTAR program, a three-year science research program which produces record numbers of Regeneron Science Talent Search semifinalists. In 2008, the district's program produced 13 semifinalists, the most semifinalists from a single school in the entire nation. The district's Intellectually Gifted program is housed at its Nassakeag Elementary School. The Three Village CSD has been represented at nationals for Science Olympiad and by various varsity sports teams.
