What school district is University Park Elementary School part of?
Do not send your child to this school. The teachers and staff are all either strict disciplinarians, or completely lax. They are more focused on teaching your child to say sir and mam, than teaching them actual subjects. As a result, most of the students are horrible bullies when the teacher isn't looking. If the students talk above a whisper during lunch, they all lose talking privileges. Absolute nightmare of a school that I suffered for 6 years. Send your child anywhere else.
