Summary:
Tindley Genesis Academy is the sole elementary public charter school in this data set, serving students in Indianapolis, Indiana. With a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking 947 out of 1,005 Indiana elementary schools, the school faces significant challenges in supporting its high-need student population and improving academic outcomes.
The data reveals consistently low academic performance across multiple grade levels and subject areas, with only 13.09% of students proficient or better in ILEARN/English Language Arts and Math for all grades in 2024-2025. Performance is particularly concerning in 4th grade, where only 3.33% of students are proficient or better in ELA and 5% in Math. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% for the 2023-2024 school year further compounds these academic struggles.
Despite adequate resources, with a spending per student of $10,831, the Tindley Genesis Academy has not shown significant improvement over the past three school years, suggesting a need to evaluate the effectiveness of its educational programs and support services. Addressing the root causes of the school's challenges, such as instructional quality, student engagement, and support for its high-poverty student population, will be crucial for driving meaningful progress and better serving the community.
