Concordia Charter School

Public, Charter Grades K-6

Summary

Concordia Charter School is a public charter elementary school in Mesa, Arizona, serving 94 students in grades K-6. With a majority Hispanic student population (79.79%), the school has consistently received a 1-star rating, indicating it is among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state.

Concordia Charter School's academic performance is significantly below state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2022-2023, only 7% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 41%. The school's Hispanic, male, and low socioeconomic status students consistently rank in the bottom 20-30% of Arizona elementary schools, indicating significant achievement gaps. Concordia Charter School has also experienced a significant decline in enrollment, from 94 students in 2022-2023 to just 63 students in 2021-2022, likely due to its poor academic performance and low ratings.

Compared to nearby public schools like Guerrero Elementary School, Franklin West Elementary, and Emerson Elementary, which all have higher proficiency rates and statewide rankings, Concordia Charter School's academic performance is significantly lower. Despite consistent spending per student, ranging from $9,258 in 2019-2020 to $9,568 in 2021-2022, the school's educational outcomes have not improved, suggesting the need for substantial interventions and support to better serve its students.
