Summary

Concord High School is a small, rural school in Concord, AR, serving 173 students in grades 7-12 within the Concord School District, which ranks in the top 65% of Arkansas districts. The school stands out for its exceptionally low student-to-teacher ratio of 4.4:1, far lower than nearby schools like West Side High School (5.6:1) and Heber Springs High School (11.7:1), offering a highly personalized learning environment. With per-student spending of $14,857—second only to West Side among peers—the school invests heavily in its small student body, supporting a consistent graduation rate above 90% and an extremely low dropout rate of just 0.5%.

Academically, Concord shows a clear strength in Mathematics, where 50% of all students are proficient compared to the state average of 44.1%, with 8th-grade math particularly strong at 60.8% proficiency—24.6 points above the state. However, Science is a challenge, with only 34.8% proficient versus the state’s 44%, though Biology stands out as a bright spot: 50% of students are proficient, well above the state average of 42.7%, and 10th-grade Biology proficiency reaches 51.6% compared to 35.1% statewide. This suggests a standout Biology program within the school, even as overall science scores need improvement.

Compared to nearby schools, Concord offers a unique mix of advantages. While Southside Charter High School has a slightly higher graduation rate (93.1%) and state ranking (49th), Concord’s lower student-teacher ratio (4.4 vs. 6.4) provides a more intimate setting. Against Heber Springs High School, Concord excels in student retention with a lower dropout rate (0.5% vs. 2.6%) and higher graduation rate (90.6% vs. 88.0%), though Heber Springs outperforms in Biology and Algebra. The school’s historic peak in 2016-2017, when it ranked 13th in the state, shows its capacity for elite performance, and its current stable, top-20% ranking reflects a strong foundation for families seeking a supportive, resource-rich school.
