When you look at this site you think, This is a bad school, not putting my kid in here but really, this school was the best 4 years of my life. I sadly couldn't make it to 5th grade because of moving out. But, the teachers are so talkative and know how to teach, they know when you are struggling and they are not as strict as u think they would be. Credits to, Mrs. Curry, Mrs. Briggs, Mrs, Dowling, and Mrs, Dicamillo for giving me the best years of my life at U.V. This School has everything you would need as a little kid, Amazing people, art, music, gym, computers, etc; I hope to come to visit one day again, and bring back memories.

I love everything about this school. From the administration to the faculty to the support staff. I have had three children go through this elementary school and I can't tell you how wonderful the experience it has been. Mr. Bohonko and Mr. Rose are the best principle and vice principle I have ever encountered.
