Summary

Prieto Math-Science Elementary School enrolls 733 students in pre-K through grade 8 in Chicago, where families have several nearby elementary-school options. In 2025–26, about 40% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), compared with 14% in math. Both results were below district and state averages, but math is the clearest concern: just 14% were proficient, well below the district’s 29% and the state’s 40%.

ELA is a relative strength compared with nearby schools, while math is among the weakest results. Prieto had the third-highest ELA proficiency among 10 nearby schools, at 40% versus their average of 34%, though it remained below the Chicago Public Schools District 299 average of 46% and the state’s 56%. In math, Prieto ranked third-lowest among nearby schools, below their 20% average. Results also vary notably by grade: grade 8 ELA reached 63.3%, slightly above the state’s 63.1%, while grade 7 math was 13%, compared with 30% in the district and 40% statewide; Prieto had the lowest grade 7 math result among nearby schools reporting scores.

Prieto’s proficiency has risen since 2023–24, but math has lost ground against the state: math improved by 6 points, while the state gained 11, and the gap widened from 20 to 25 points. SchoolDigger’s statewide standing fell from the 23rd percentile and 1 star in 2024–25 to the 8th percentile and 0 stars in 2025–26. The school’s 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 12.4, the second-lowest among nearby schools; 88% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, compared with 85% across nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students fell from the 35th percentile in 2024–25 to the 13th in 2025–26, a measure of how well the school serves that group; the overall ranking also declined, from the 23rd to the 8th percentile.
