Summary:
Concord Community Schools in Indiana is home to four elementary schools serving grades K–4 — Concord East Side Elementary School, Concord West Side Elementary School, Concord Ox Bow Elementary School, and Concord South Side Elementary School — with a combined enrollment of 1,874 students, in a district rated 207th of 374 districts statewide at the 45th percentile with 2 stars.
Concord Ox Bow Elementary School is the academic standout: ranked 358 of 1,015 (65th percentile, 3 stars), with 3 stars in all three years and the highest all-grade scores — ELA 48.5%, Math 52.1%, Science 52.63% — above the district in every subject and above the state in 4th grade ELA, Math, and Science. Concord East Side Elementary School has the lowest chronic absenteeism (8.9%) and stays above district averages in all-grade subjects, but its rank slipped from 69th percentile/3 stars to 49th percentile/2 stars, with all-grade scores down in ELA, Math, and Science. Concord West Side Elementary School is the most improved, rising from 21st percentile/1 star to 37th percentile/2 stars and gaining in all three subjects, though it still trails the district in ELA and Math. Concord South Side Elementary School ranks lowest (780 of 1,015, 23rd percentile, 1 star every year), with the lowest all-grade scores and highest absenteeism (17.4%).
Several patterns stand out. East Side and Ox Bow have nearly identical free/reduced lunch rates (53.94% and 54.29%), yet Ox Bow far outperforms. Spending and class size don't track outcomes simply: South Side spends the most per student ($11,571) with the lowest student-teacher ratio (14.5) yet posts the lowest results, while East Side spends the least ($10,137) with the highest ratio (17) and remains above district averages. Attendance generally aligns with achievement. The district average also masks wide variation — percentiles span 23 to 65, and all-grade ELA ranges from 30.43% to 48.5%.
