When I first arrived at pritzker College Prep I thought I would hate it however after getting out of my comfortable I realized what a great community Pritzker College Prep can be. you are able to talk to teachers when you are feeling unsafe. However the best part of pritzker is the programs that it offers like sol, where you go to live college experience and Pushkin program. Something pritzker may lack is more class courses as it doesn't provide more options to what you could study in the next year, I I believe that could become a easy fix but I would like to see ritzker have a variety of more classes. A change that MUST be done is the environment and discipline at Pritzker. Pritzker was once known to be a strict school with educated students however that has really fell off after COVID had happened.

There really isn't anything bad that I can say about Pritzker, its been a good experience, challenging, but fun, the only problem I have with it is the students.

Pritzker College Prep offers a great amount of help needed for students to succeed in life through their college experience. It pushes students to keep trying their best and not give up knowing that things take time to come and not everything is easy. There isn't really anything bad in this school since everyone encourages you and helps you with your pathway. But I would like for this school to have more clubs and specially electives to choose from since there is barely any that students could be really interested in.

You will get random demerits at times just for no reason, sometimes even for talking during silent lunch. Silent lunch? Oh, because it gets 'too' loud with over 200 kids in the same room. The lunch times are 25 minutes and if they feel like closing the bathroom during lunch, they will. The only reas...
