About Our School

Prescott Elementary School opened the doors of the new school at 1151 White Street in 2006, as one of the first ten charter schools in the state of Iowa. Since that time, Prescott has had its charter school status reauthorized by the Iowa Board of Education twice. When Prescott’s application for charter status was submitted to the state of Iowa in 2006, the school was required to identify the planned innovative approaches in teaching and learning that would be the instituted if charter status was granted. Prescott has since not reinstated its charter status and now uses the Dubuque Community Schools curriculum.
