Impact Academy 2 has faced significant challenges, with high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 17.8% to 35.4% over the past few years, compared to the district average of around 20%. Academically, the school has struggled, with very low proficiency rates on ILEARN and SAT assessments, such as only 2.7% of students being proficient in ELA and 5.26% in Math in 2024-2025, compared to 20.83% and 20.99% for the district, respectively. The school does not have any reported graduation rate data, which suggests it may be an issue. However, Impact Academy 2 has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 2.7 to 5 over the past few years, indicating a potentially more personalized learning environment, and its spending per student is higher than the district average, ranging from $21,509 to $27,899 per student.
Interestingly, the three Impact Academy schools in the district have similar performance and demographic profiles, suggesting a consistent challenge across the network. In comparison, Irvington Preparatory Academy, another public school serving an alternative population, outperforms Impact Academy 2 on most academic metrics, with higher proficiency rates and graduation rates. Additionally, the Indiana Connections Academy, a virtual public charter school, demonstrates significantly higher academic performance than Impact Academy 2 across all grade levels and subject areas.
