University Hill Elementary is a school currently administered by the Vancouver School Board located in the University Endowment Lands (UEL), a suburb directly to the west of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It is also the only elementary school in the University Endowment Lands. It was originally built as a grade K-12 school run under an independent school board. In 1954, University Hill Secondary was built to accommodate growth, and the building became an elementary school.
The school is at full capacity and students are turned away to other elementary schools in the West Point Grey neighbourhood on the west side of Vancouver. There are plans to build another elementary school in the UEL to handle the demand.
It is also consistently rated among the top elementary schools in the province by the Fraser Institute (although some question the validity of the rankings due to possible systematic bias). [1]
