Indy Steam Academy, located at 4020 N Sherman Drive in Indianapolis, Indiana, was established as an independent charter school district serving a large city setting within the greater Indianapolis-Carmel-Greenwood metropolitan area. Operating as its own local educational agency for federal programs, the academy was designed to provide specialized science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics programming within the local urban community. According to the 2024–2025 National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) dataset, the district's status is officially listed as closed, with no active operational schools or reported staff maintaining day-to-day instructional programs for the current academic year.
