Merrillville Community School Corporation
Merrillville’s districtwide middle years begin at Merrillville Intermediate School, which houses grades five and six after five K–4 elementary schools. Clifford Pierce Middle School takes the seventh- and eighth-grade cohort, then the full group enters Merrillville High. The district combines neighborhood groups at each transition, with building changes after fourth, sixth, and eighth grade.
Merrillville Community School Corporation Virtual Academy adds an online option governed by its own eligibility, attendance, and course rules. Address determines the elementary school; from fifth grade onward, the mainstream physical route is shared across the district.
At Merrillville High, students can use career and technical pathways, dual-credit registration, and college-and-career counseling within the shared campus. The school also publishes Freshman Academy tutoring and grade-specific support, giving ninth graders a defined entry structure inside the comprehensive high school.
