Summary

Prieto Math-Science Elementary School is a public school in Chicago, Illinois, serving 751 students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The school is part of the Chicago Public Schools District 299, which is ranked 698 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Prieto Math-Science Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom 25% of Illinois elementary schools, with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts (38.4%), Mathematics (14.4%), and Science. The school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (90.28%) and has a significant population of English Language Learners. Chronic absenteeism is also a major issue, ranging from 25.4% to 40.8% over the past few years, much higher than the state and district averages.

While Prieto has received increased funding in recent years, the academic performance has not shown substantial improvement. Nearby schools, such as CICS - West Belden Campus, Lloyd Elementary School, Camras Elementary School, and Lyon Elementary School, generally perform better on academic measures and have lower chronic absenteeism rates. Addressing the underlying factors, such as the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and the chronic absenteeism rate, may be crucial in improving Prieto's performance and providing a better educational experience for its students.
