It is a school that gets you properly ready for college. It is strict and the administration is annoying but its an okay school overall.

My experience at Tindley has been good so far. Although the communication within the school can be chaotic at times, they still provide us with opportunities. I like how they encourage college and they kind of over prepare us for what we might experience in the future. I don't like the lack of communication and how the events are often unorganized.

If I could rate this school negative stars I would. Horrible leadership, teachers are disrespected daily, students are allowed to be violent, thieves, and disrespectful. Not only do the students not enjoy it, leadership makes it impossible for teachers to stay and feel supported. Awful awful awful.
