Parent Rating Average
I attended University Park in the mid-70's and went on to get an MBA and own businesses that employ many. I think that the school was okay. I was not that interested in learning or school so I feel like I didn't get as much as I could have. That said, I've done very well in life and can compete skill-wise with most any ivy league graduate. Looking back, I'm happy with my elementary school experience.
