2003 – present

The set: Below the four high schools, the corporation's middle layer as it stands in the 2024–25 federal record is six schools. Dickinson Fine Arts Academy, a kindergarten-through-eighth school at 4404 Elwood Avenue, enrolled about 309. Edison Middle School, at 2701 Eisenhower Avenue and listed in the federal record as a kindergarten-through-eighth school, enrolled about 551. Jackson Middle School, the converted high school of the entry above, enrolled about 537. Jefferson Traditional School, at 528 South Eddy Street, enrolled about 591. LaSalle Academy teaches grades five through eight in the converted LaSalle High School. Navarre Middle School, at 4702 West Ford Street, enrolled 378 in 2024–25.

Navarre's name: Navarre Middle School carries the name of Pierre Navarre, the French-Canadian trader who settled at the bend in the 1820s — the Before the City section carries his post and his house. The school stood in the corporation's roster as an intermediate center in the Plan Z years and stands now as a middle school; its opening year does not appear in the sources read for this section, and none is claimed.
