Steinmetz College Prep (also known as Steinmetz High School or Steinmetz Academic Centre) is a public 4-year high school located in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood on the Northwest Side of Chicago, Illinois. It is a part of the Chicago Public Schools. It is named for the handicapped German-American mathematician and electrical engineer Charles Proteus Steinmetz.
The 2000 television movie Cheaters is based on a 1995 Academic Decathlon scandal that involved the school. Parts of Cheaters were filmed (without permission) at Steinmetz.[2]
