About Happy Days Learning Center
Happy Days Learning Center is a private elementary school in Merrillville, IN.

What Parents Should Know
At 15 students, Happy Days Learning Center is on the smaller side. That usually buys more individual attention and teachers who know every kid by name, with the trade-off of fewer electives and extracurriculars than a larger school can staff. Ask what activities it actually offers.
Happy Days Learning Center is private, so it runs independently of the local district and sets its own curriculum. That freedom cuts both ways depending on what you want for your child. If you're considering it, start with the practical questions: tuition, financial aid, and how admissions work.

Why doesn't this school have a score?
We don't have enough verified data to rate this school fairly. Private schools in IN aren't required to report standardized test scores to the state, which limits the data available for our rating model.
