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.
