Claim ProfileWhy Gary Middle College was nominated
Gary Middle College is part of GEO Academies, a network of charter schools in Indiana and Louisiana. GEO's approach focuses on supporting low-income students to enroll and succeed in college not just after high school, but in high school. Gary Middle College is an exemplar of this model. Starting in 9th grade, students can enroll in courses at nearby colleges and begin earning credits. Gary Middle College uses its K-12 funding to pay for these college courses, while stretching remaining funds to provide intensive wraparound supports for students, as well as smaller class sizes for students taking courses on the high school campus. As of 2021 over two thirds of Gary Middle College students graduate with college credits, some even with an Associate's degree., This school creates a learning environment that is engaging, effective, and empowering for all students.
