UNIVERSITY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IS A GREAT SCHOOL!!! My eldest daughter and son went there and they loved it My youngest is there now and loves it. With covid, they weren't able to do much, but still had a graduation and field day. We love this school, and people should really consider this school if they are moving to the area.
