Summary:
Schools in this area consist of one school, Tindley Genesis Academy, an elementary school in Indianapolis serving grades K–6 with 368 students. It is the only school in the area, and it operates as its own district, so school and district figures match. It ranks 352 of 374 with a 6th percentile rating and 0 stars. Rank history shows 949 of 1,011 (6th percentile) in 2023–2024, 947 of 1,005 (6th percentile) in 2024–2025, and 927 of 1,015 (9th percentile) in 2025–2026, so it remains in the bottom decile. In 2024–2025, 37.6% of students were chronically absent, more than double the state rate of 16.7%, and 87.23% qualified for free/reduced-price lunch. Per-student spending was $10,831 in 2023–2024, and student–teacher ratio was 15.3 in 2024–2025.
On 2025–2026 ILEARN tests, every reported grade-level subject was below the state average. The highest figures were 6th grade ELA at 25% (state 41.3%), 3rd grade Math at 23.73% (state 51.9%), and 4th grade Science at 20% (state 43.8%). The weakest were 5th grade Math at 4.44% (state 42%), 5th grade Social Studies at 6.67% (state 47.2%), 4th grade Math at 8.89% (state 52%), and 6th grade Math at 10% (state 40.2%). Other results include 3rd grade ELA at 20.34% (state 40.8%), 4th grade ELA at 13.04% (state 42.2%), 5th grade ELA at 15.56% (state 42.2%), and 6th grade Science at 10% (state 41.2%). All-grade ELA was 18.42%, Math 12.7%, and Science 15.29%; the state does not provide all-grade comparison values here.
Year over year, all-grade ELA improved from 13.09% to 18.42%, and Science improved from 6.25% to 15.29%, while Math was nearly flat, moving from 13.09% to 12.7%. Fifth grade Social Studies declined from 8.33% to 6.67%. The key takeaways for parents are that the school remains near the bottom of the state ranking with 0 stars, chronic absenteeism is far above the state rate, and proficiency gaps are large. ELA and Science gains are encouraging but start from a low base. With only one school in this area, there are no local peers; all comparisons are to state averages or the school’s own prior-year results.
