Radojica Perović Elementary school is located in King Nikola Street in Podgorica, Montenegro.

The school was founded in 1961 and it had 960 students in 30 classes. In four years the number of students increased to 2,000, which prompted the opening of Maksim Gorki elementary school.

The old building became the site of the Ivan Uskoković vocational school.

Radojica Petrović had already had over 1,400 students in 41 classes. In 1994 the number increased to 2,100 and Štampar Makarije elementary school was formed.

On May 17, 1989 the school was awarded the highest state award for outstanding results in education - the "Oktoih" award.
