I have studied English in elementary school or I studied English in elementary school
So, should I say
I studied English at the elementary school, then high school and at the university OR should I say I have studied?
I think it should be in past simple since we know when it was, in the past, during my elementary school days and i am not an elementary school student anymore? and it's finished even though I still might be studying it (outside of these institutions), but I'm referring to a certain point in the past? Thanks in advance.

Really 3 versions could be used, and to a native speaker all would be understood in context to mean 1 thing. The context ( your previous or following sentences) , more so than the tense you use, will determine what your real meaning is to a native speaker. But to be specific, simple past " studied" only if you are not studying English now. You can use 'had studied" because you are listing 3 instances taking place one after another, at different points in time. You can use "have studied" to be ambiguious about whether or not you are studying now.

You are studying now.
I intend to study
You will study in the future
