A summary of findings is explained as it pertains to each research question addressed in the study to determine the impact of middle school integrated STEM programming on student performance and achievement. The results indicate significant differences in student achievement in math and science with students participating in STEM performing markedly higher than students in the general education setting. Preliminary bivariate relationships between STEM participation and the student-level variables of gender, race, socioeconomic status, and attendance were determined to be extremely low indicating no practical significant relationship or correlation between these variables and student achievement.The predictive results of HLM analysis determined STEM students scored significantly higher on the OST in science and math combined scoring 31.8 points higher on average and 38.2 points higher in science compared to their general education peers. No interaction effects were determined between STEM participation and gender, socioeconomic status, student race, and attendance rate. More research needs conducted on the impact of teacher efficacy, individual classroom influences, and quality of STEM training for educators. The research results indicate that integrated STEM programming in middle school had a positive effect on student achievement indicating it is indeed a pathway to success.
