Spry Community Links High School is located in the heart of the Little Village community facing Marshall Boulevard.  This is a bilingual community in close proximity to the major commercial strip on 26th Street. The heavily populated neighborhood is characterized by large families who are dedicated and committed to expanding their economic and educational opportunities with a strong emphasis on hard work and who have pride in their language and culture . The interaction of community resources and the school is a priority. ​
