GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My experience with 21st Century Charter School has given me the opportunity to take college courses early. The school administration instills in everyone there is more than one way to succeed in your life. You can start a business or attend college.

21st Century Charter School is one of if not the best schools in Gary. Their college readiness program which allows students to work towards and earn an associates degree while still in high school and at no cost to the parents is nothing short of amazing. Couple this with the awesome leadership,car...
