Summary:
Concord Community Schools in Elkhart, Indiana serves about 5,212 students across seven schools — four elementary schools (K–4), two middle schools (grades 5–6 and 7–8), and one high school (grades 9–12) — and ranks 207th of 374 Indiana districts, at the 45th percentile with 2 stars. That district-wide rating hides large differences between individual schools, which range from the 23rd to the 65th percentile.

Concord Junior High School is the most improved school, rising from the 38th to the 60th percentile and reaching 3 stars, with unusually high Biology End of Course results (87.76) that parents may want to confirm with the school. Concord East Side Elementary School slipped from the 69th to the 49th percentile and from 3 stars to 2 stars, though it still beats district averages and has the lowest chronic absenteeism at 8.9%.
At the other end, Concord South Side Elementary School is the lowest performer (30.43 in both ELA and math, 23.29 in science, 23rd percentile, 1 star) despite the district's highest per-student spending ($11,571) and smallest student-teacher ratio (14.5). Concord West Side Elementary School improved to the 37th percentile but remains below district averages, with the highest free/reduced lunch rate (83.93%). Concord Community High School graduates 93.2% of students, above the state's 89.7%, but chronic absenteeism is 28.4% and SAT ERW is 45.21 versus the state's 51.9.
