  • L'escola estatal de Willowbrook (Estats Units), era una escola finançada per l'estat per a nens amb discapacitat intel·lectual, localitzada a Staten Island, Nova York. L'escola es va fer tristament cèlebre en dues ocasions: en 1960 per un inescrupulós estudi mèdic, i en els anys '70 pels abusos comesos a l'escola, la qual cosa va estimular la nova legislació per als drets civils. L'escola va ser tancada el 1987 i els terrenys van ser habilitats per formar part d'un nou campus de la Universitat de Staten Island. (ca)

A February 2020 New York Times investigation found that the alumni of Willowbrook continue to be abused in smaller group homes. A portion of the grounds and some of the buildings were incorporated into the campus of the College of Staten Island, which moved to Willowbrook in the early 1990s. (en)
