Summary:

Global Impact STEM Academy is a public high school in Springfield, Ohio, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 664 students. The school has a focus on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education and is part of the Springfield-Clark County school district.

Global Impact STEM Academy stands out for its exceptional 100% four-year graduation rate, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school also consistently outperforms the state in several subject areas, including Science, American Government, American History, and Biology. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 73.9% of 8th-grade students were proficient or better in Ohio State Tests/Science, compared to the state average of 62.1%. However, the school has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 4.2% in the 2019-2020 school year to 16.1% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is higher than the state average.

Interestingly, the nearby Springfield-Clark County High School, located just 1.31 miles away, has a similar racial makeup but a higher percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, suggesting that Global Impact STEM Academy may serve a more affluent student population. Additionally, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with higher rankings for male students, multi-racial students, and students with low socioeconomic status compared to female students and White students. This indicates the need to address any achievement gaps and ensure equitable outcomes for all students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
