Valparaiso Community School Corporation
Valparaiso Community Schools serves about 6,500 students through eight elementary schools, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson Middle Schools, and Valparaiso High School. At ninth grade, the two middle-school communities come together at one comprehensive high school, so an address has its greatest effect on the elementary and middle portions of the route.
Valparaiso Alternative Learning Experience, known as VALE, operates within the high-school system for students who need a smaller or more flexible setting. The district also maintains virtual-learning options whose expectations, communication, and daily independence differ from ordinary building-based attendance. These settings change the way a student completes secondary work while keeping the program inside VCS.
Valparaiso High adds career preparation through field experiences and course-based pathways. A student may spend part of the schedule in an internship or applied setting while remaining enrolled at VHS. These choices are concentrated in the high-school years; elementary and middle placement continues to follow the eight-school and two-middle-school boundary map.
