About the school
Eric Solorio Academy has been named one of the top 20 high schools in Chicago by the Chicago Magazine and top 15 by U.S. News & World Report. Solorio provides students with rigorous academics, superior fine arts, an array of top-tier athletics, and high-performing clubs. We offer a Double-Honors, college prep Scholars Cohort intended for high-achieving, motivated students. Scholars are enrolled in AP courses and begin earning college credit freshman year! Through our Early College STEM pathway, students have the opportunity to graduate high school with an associate's degree in Computer Science. With the support of our two college coaches and alumni coordinator, Solorio graduates receive millions in scholarships, attend top-tier universities, and many have become Posse, QuestBridge, and Gates Scholars. We are one of our city's best kept secrets. Visit us at http://solorioacademy.org/
