Read what parents are saying about University Park Elementary School

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

Incompetent principal-- chases teachers away! Just lost the best Spanish teacher ever because she refuses to listen to her staff, particularly educators who have decades more experience than she does. Send your kids anywhere else if you care about their education... and if your kids are already there, ask the principal why SIX TEACHERS walked out last year. And why one more walked out a week before classes started. What's the common denominator?
