Summary

The school is part of the Indianapolis Public Schools district, which is ranked 300 out of 380 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Impact Academy 3 has faced significant challenges in recent years. The school has seen fluctuating four-year graduation rates, ranging from 27.2% to 88.4%, which is significantly lower than the state average of around 88%. Additionally, the school has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 0% to 35.4%, a concerning metric that can negatively impact student learning and achievement. Academically, Impact Academy 3 has struggled, with very low proficiency rates on ILEARN and SAT assessments compared to the Indianapolis Public Schools district and the state of Indiana. For example, in 2024-2025, only 12.5% of students were proficient in English Language Arts, and 0% were proficient in Math, compared to 20.83% and 20.99% for the district, respectively.

When compared to the other Impact Academy schools and other nearby alternative schools, such as Irvington Preparatory Academy and RISE Learning Center, Impact Academy 3 generally performs worse academically. The school's struggles are not unique, as the other Impact Academy schools and nearby alternative schools in the area also demonstrate similar issues. Addressing these systemic problems will require a multi-faceted approach, including targeted interventions to improve attendance, personalized learning strategies, and a focus on building a supportive school culture.
