School Reviews
4 6/15/2024
I graduated this school five years ago and it helped prepare me extremely well for college. A lot of my friends from this school went to Notre Dame, Michigan, Miami, Northwestern, and UChicago. There are a lot of reviews that say this school is terrible don''t send your kid here, but I challenge the people who wrote those reviews to post their grades and attendance records to see if they''re just mad that they didn''t take high school more seriously or if there is genuine need for improvement. Personally, I thought that the AP and honors classes at this school challenged me a lot and prepared me well for college where I graduated in 3 1/2 years due to AP credits. There is always room for improvement, with Tinley being no exception, but personally, I wouldn't change where I went because I received the right amount of attention, academic, and athletic opportunities.Parents, if you are thinking about sending your child here, do your research based off the schools curriculum, open houses, and community events. Don't listen to nameless trolls online who might just be clueless that they or their kids didn''t take things seriously in high school.
