Customer Reviews
Sidener has been amazing for both of my sons. The teachers, staff & admin are understanding of the uniqueness of high ability learners & the challenges that some face with social/emotional issues. The communication with parents is timely & organized & consistent. I've always had my questions/concerns addressed timely. I am very impressed with Sidener overall, and am glad they continue through 8th grade!

Two of my kids have gone to this school. It is wonderful—dedicated teachers and staff, challenging curriculum, lots of learning opportunities. I’ve volunteered in the school and have witnessed the great atmosphere where students are encouraged to think deeply and express their opinions. I only wish that IPS could replicate this model and create a high school for these kids. But for 2-8 grades, it is wonderful.

We love having our daughter at Sidener Academy. The staff and teachers really care about the students and we are able to get and give feedback, which we appreciate. Our daughter is challenged in ways that she might not otherwise be, creating more opportunity for her to grow and flourish. Thank you, Sidener Academy!

DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS TO SIDENER! It sounds like a great idea. I mean, it’s a high ability school. How can you go wrong? Well, the kids that go to school here are very high in narcissism. They’ve been told how great they are all their lives but they significantly lack in empathy and compassion. This school is run by bullies. They’re smart bullies so they are quite covert in their cruelty. The parents and teachers seem to be completely oblivious as to who these kids really are. They only see the performances put on by the kids but not the lack of character. These kids blatantly exclude others and see nothing wrong with their behavior. The school has high turnover when it comes to principals and teachers so there is no support coming from adults in the building. I concur with the other reviews about the facilities, food, and general lack of resources but the true damage will be to your child’s emotional, social, and educational development.

We have two students at Sidener and couldn’t be happier. Our elementary schoolers struggled to get his needs met in Perry schools. Our middle schoolers out grew the programming at his previous school. Sidener is meeting their needs while recognizing their differences. It’s been great for them.
The school also did a great job with handling the pandemic and schooling from home. They kept kids engaged to help minimize falling behind.
We love our school!
