Cps is very political, they tend to brush issues under the wrong so their school keeps a good reputation While Prescott Elementary is often highlighted for awards and ratings, our lived experience tells a very different story.There are significant behavioral issues among students that are not being effectively managed. The lack of classroom control creates constant disruptions and takes away from students who are there to learn. This directly impacts academic progress and the overall learning environment.More concerning, a fifth-grade teacher told an entire class that they would not amount to anything, would not get into college, and were not talented. When this was reported to both the school and the network, it was dismissed and brushed aside. This response—or lack thereof—raises serious concerns about accountability and whether issues are intentionally minimized to protect school ratings.Additionally, morning supervision at Wrightwood Park is inadequate. Staff members are frequently disengaged, chatting among themselves rather than actively supervising students, which raises safety concerns.Finally, during my daughter’s transfer out of the school, her personal belongings were mishandled. We were given only one notebook and one pencil. Her glasses, pencil case, and multiple school supplies that we personally purchased were missing and never returned.Families deserve transparency, accountability, and a safe, supportive learning environment. Unfortunately, that was not our experience here.

MiddleClass white parent w kids at this school. Admin is terrible! They have poor communication and are disorganized. Steinmiller seems to pass off responsibilities to other staff members and can’t lead a school. This was evident at the open house for parents and students. I sensed he didn’t know how to run a school based on the disorganization of the open house and how he passed important questions from parents to the student docents. When their responses are inadequate he never followed up with a succinct answer. He couldn’t even describe the IB program. This Principal is a joke. They also don’t take student IEPs seriously and find ways to screw over your kid. They are not interested in student success. Teachers are often absent with many subs. Send you student to the suburbs and forget CPS.
