I am a little surprised that this school is not ranked as the absolutely best secondary school for all of Indiana. Tindley is the only secondary school in the state to be awarded the National Blue Ribbon from the US Department of Education. It is a four star school as rated by the Indiana Department of Education. It is strict but how can that be bad? Places that are not strict are promoting students that have not mastered grade level content, and at Tindley, students know their stuff. If someone does not follow the rules, they are hurting the learning of not just themselves, but everyone in thier classroom. That is probably why they are put out. GREAT SCHOOL!

I have been familiar with the outstanding work being done at Tindley for 5 years. During that time, the school has grown in numbers and in excellence. Whenever I walk the halls, I see students who treat me with respect. The teachers are dedicated and work there out of love for kids and learning. I have to give credit to the parents as well who are the invaluable link in the whole process of student learning. So glad this school exists as an alternative to the traditional public education.

All you need to check is the percentage of early college graduates that are in the college or university of their dream. Having exposure to college acedemic rigor at no cost to you as a parent is enough to know that this school is advancing our children and my hats off to the principal, teachers the board and parents that makes it happen.

My son attends this school and I have the opportunity to work there as well. I think it is an exceptional school. My son works hard to do well and he is constantly challenged. The support he gets from the teachers is like nothing he has received before. They take a no-nonsense approach to learning. That is why suspensions are higher. There is no tolerance for students who are in the way of others learning.

I have two students at Tindley, and they are doing very well. I love the support that they get from the teachers and the high expectations that are put on them. I also can say that I feel that when I drop my children off for school they are safe. Its not like at some of these schools that are so big they don't know if your child is in class or not or whats going on in the halls.

I am a student here and yes the suspensions are heavy but there is no time for in a school like this. To the parent who said they don't give it, i don't know how you could get any closer. No other school in Indianapolis provides the opportunities that Tindley does. period point blank. Grow up.

As a graduate of Tindley, i can honestly say that this school has done more for me that i had ever expected. I am at a great school with a great scholarship because of Mr. and Mrs. Robinson and the many teachers I had. I love Tindley!!
