Gary Community School Corporation
Gary Community School Corporation currently separates its physical route into early childhood, five elementary schools, two middle schools, and one high school. Bethune serves early childhood. Banneker at Marquette, Beveridge, Glen Park Academy, McCullough Academy, and Williams Elementary cover the elementary years. Sixth grade begins at either Bailly STEM Academy or Gary Middle School, and both routes continue to West Side Leadership Academy for grades nine through twelve.
Gary Virtual Academy provides a complete K–12 online school setting. District teachers, courses, attendance rules, and grade-level support are organized through the academy, so virtual enrollment establishes the student’s primary school environment.
Gary Area Career Center adds career exploration and technical study, beginning as early as seventh grade and expanding through high school. Students can use specialized facilities and courses while remaining connected to West Side or another approved sending school. The physical route sets the home campus, virtual enrollment changes the main delivery format, and career-center participation changes selected courses and part of the day.
