University of Texas Elementary School
University of Texas Elementary School is a state charter primary school located at 2200 East 6th Street in Austin, Texas, United States.[1] The school is affiliated with the University of Texas at Austin.
By 2002 the school proposal caused friction between the University of Texas at Austin and the Austin Independent School District.[2] Sharon Jayson of the Austin American-Statesman predicted that the charter school, which would become the 17th charter school in central Texas and would serve a 25-square-mile (65 km2) area, would take students from one third of Austin ISD's campuses and two of Del Valle Independent School District's six schools.[3] The school opened in August 2003. In fall 2006 the school added the fourth grade, with the fifth grade added the following year.[4]
School uniform
