Default Conditional formatting that ignores other formatting rules

I'm working on a spreadsheet with a large list of schools, and color coding them based upon the grades they serve. Currently, the conditional formatting rules use the name of the school ("Elementary" in the name is colored green," Middle School or Jr High is colored red, etc.). However, there are some schools with the name Elementary in it that actually serve grades Kindergarden through 8th grade, while the definition of elementary that I have been using is generally Kindergarden through 5th grade.



I want to color code these K-8 schools blue, and can do so manually, but only if the school name does not have "elementary" or "grade school" in it. Is there a formula that both pays attention to a "Grades Served" field that is in the spreadsheet and overrides the "contains Elementary" or "contains grade school" name rule?

Let me know if I need to provide any more information. Thanks!
