DeVry University Advantage Academy is a 2-year, dual degree high school located in Chicago, Illinois. Operated by a partnership with Chicago Public Schools and DeVry University, the program offers students an opportunity to graduate with a high school diploma and an associate degree in either Networking System Administration or Business. Both high school and college classes are taken at a single location. Until 2019, classes were taken at the original DeVry University Chicago Campus at 3300 N. Campbell Ave.[1]
DeVry Academy is rated a 10 out of 10 by GreatSchools.org, a national school quality information site. [2] GreatSchools’ Summary Rating is based on four of the school’s themed ratings: the Test Score Rating, Student or Academic Progress Rating, College Readiness Rating, and Equity Rating and flags for discipline and attendance disparities at a school.
