Summary

Concord Magnet School is a K-8 magnet school in Norwalk, CT, serving 388 students as part of the Norwalk School District, which ranks in the bottom quarter of Connecticut districts. Despite that district-level challenge, Concord has consistently performed near the statewide median, earning 3 stars in recent SchoolDigger rankings and placing in the 51st–55th percentile over the last several years. In 2025-26, it ranked 237th out of 491 schools statewide, good for the 52nd percentile.

Academically, Concord outperforms its district and often the state. In 2025-26, average ELA proficiency across grades 3-8 was 54.7% versus 45.2% for the district and 51.0% for the state; math proficiency was 52.5% versus 40.0% for the district and 46.8% for the state. The largest advantages came in 4th-grade math, where 67.3% of students were proficient compared with 44.7% across the district and 52.1% statewide, and in 8th-grade ELA, at 66.7% versus 46.0% and 51.1%. Concord also stands out for exceptionally low chronic absenteeism: 4.4% in 2025-26, compared with 15.4% for the district and 16.4% statewide. Among nearby schools, only East School in New Canaan is comparable on attendance. Concord is the highest-ranked Norwalk public school in its comparison group, ahead of Fox Run Elementary School, Naramake Elementary School, Jefferson Marine Science Elementary School, Silvermine Dual Language Magnet School, and others.

Concord's equity profile is one of its most distinctive features. Historically, its economically disadvantaged students and special education students ranked at the 66th and 58th percentiles statewide, pointing to effective support for populations that often face achievement gaps. The school also serves a more economically mixed enrollment than most nearby Norwalk schools, with a 34.0% free and reduced-price lunch rate versus 50-73% at many peers. Its K-8 model, rare among area schools, may promote continuity and strong family engagement. The main concern is 6th-grade ELA, which has lagged the state in consecutive years. Overall, Concord offers academic consistency, outstanding attendance, and a strong record of serving diverse learners.
