Dyett Academic Center (commonly known as Dyett High School) is a public 4-year high school located in the Bronzeville neighborhood on the south side of Chicago, Illinois, USA. It is part of the Chicago Public Schools. It's named for American violinist and music educator Walter Henri Dyett. The school opened as an elementary school in 1972 before becoming a neighborhood high school in 1999. In 2011, Chicago Public Schools decided that the school would no longer accept freshmen and would be phased out due to its low-attendance rate and poor academic performance.[2]
