Summary:
Global Impact STEM Academy is the only school in the Global Impact STEM Academy district, a public school in Springfield, Ohio serving grades 6–12 with 697 students enrolled. Because there is just one school here, there is no local peer to compare it against. Instead, the figures below compare it with Ohio state averages and with its own results from the year before.
The school's clearest strengths are in social studies and science. In 2025–2026, American History End-of-Course proficiency was 79.8% against Ohio's 73.2%, and it was 86.1% against 71.2% the year before. Biology also beat the state both years (68.9% vs. 67.0%, and 70.5% vs. 65.4%), and 6th grade English Language Arts was slightly above the state at 58.5% vs. 56.0%. The school reports a 100% graduation rate for 2025–2026, with 16.1% of students chronically absent. About 39.17% of students were eligible for free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025, and the student-teacher ratio was 23.8, which is relatively high.
Mathematics is the biggest area of concern. Every math test reported in 2025–2026 fell below the state average, most dramatically 8th grade math at 18.2% vs. Ohio's 52.0%. Geometry (22.7% vs. 43.3%) and Algebra I (41.3% vs. 61.6%) were both more than 20 points behind. Overall, the school was above the state in only 3 of 13 reported tests, and its average proficiency across all tests fell from about 1.5 points below the state to about 8.4 points below. Its statewide rank also dropped, from the 58th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 32nd percentile in 2025–2026. Parents should note the strong history, biology, and graduation results alongside the significant and widening math gaps, which are the most important thing to investigate further.
