Gary Middle College, located at 131 East 5th Avenue in Gary, Indiana, is a specialized public charter high school designed to provide students with a unique pathway to academic success.

The school is centered on a philosophy of personalized support and career readiness. By partnering with post-secondary institutions, Gary Middle College bridges the gap between secondary education and higher learning, effectively preparing its students for college and the modern workforce. With its downtown Gary location and a focused academic culture, the school serves as an important resource for the community, aiming to re-engage students who benefit from smaller class sizes, flexible scheduling, and a supportive, goal-oriented educational experience.
