DEVRY ADVANTAGE ACADEMY HIGH SCHL

Devry Advantage Academy High Schl is a Title I public high school that is part of the Chicago Public Schools Dist 299 school district, located in Chicago, IL with about 193 students offering grade levels from 11th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 8 teachers, Devry Advantage Academy High Schl has a student/teacher ratio of about 24:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The DeVry Advantage Academy (DAA) High School is a unique collaborative program located on the DeVry University campus in Chicago. It is a specialized dual-enrollment high school operated in partnership between Chicago Public Schools (CPS) and DeVry University. The primary mission of the school is to provide motivated students with an accelerated path toward higher education by allowing them to earn both a high school diploma and up to 60 college credits—effectively an associate degree—simultaneously, at no cost to the students or their families.

The program is designed for students who are looking for a rigorous, college-focused environment that prioritizes career readiness, particularly in technical and professional fields. By integrating high school curriculum with university-level courses, the academy aims to bridge the gap between secondary education and the workforce. Students at DAA benefit from the university’s facilities and gain early exposure to a professional collegiate environment, preparing them to either enter the workforce with significant credentials or transition seamlessly into a four-year university program upon graduation.
