Education
Children residing on the development attend schools within the Albany Unified School District. The local elementary school is Ocean View School, although student placement at the school is not guaranteed. In 2005 Julie Valdez, the principal of Ocean View Elementary, said that she was not sure how many students at Ocean View came from UC Village, but she estimated that it was approximately 30% of her school's enrolment. University Village residents are zoned to Albany Middle School and Albany High School. The Albany Children's Center, a preschool program from the school district, also serves the village.
When the reconstruction at UC Village began in 1998, the number of students from UC Village going to Albany USD schools decreased since fewer units were available. In 2000 Lapkoff & Gobalet Demographic Research Inc. predicted that the Albany Unified School District's enrollment would increase by 266 students within the next several years because of the impending completion of 282 UC Village units, a small post-1996 increase of births, and turnover of housing unit occupancy at UC Village to younger families. Around 2007 several of UC Village's housing units had been replaced, and, together with a change in the local population toward younger families, this led to a surge of enrollment within the district's school population.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“Our basic ideas about how to parent are encrusted with deeply felt emotions and many myths. One of the myths of parenting is that it is always fun and games, joy and delight. Everyone who has been a parent will testify that it is also anxiety, strife, frustration, and even hostility. Thus most major parenting- education formats deal with parental emotions and attitudes and, to a greater or lesser extent, advocate that the emotional component is more important than the knowledge.”
—Bettye M. Caldwell (20th century)
“His education lay like a film of white oil on the black lake of his barbarian consciousness. For this reason, the things he said were hardly interesting at all. Only what he was.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“In my state, on the basis of the separate but equal doctrine, we have made enormous strides over the years in the education of both races. Personally, I think it would have been sounder judgment to allow that progress to continue through the process of natural evolution. However, there is no point crying about spilt milk.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
