Concord South Side Elementary School

Public Grades K-4

780^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,015 Indiana Elementary Schools

Better than 23% of Indiana elementary schools

Summary

Concord South Side Elementary School is a K–4 school in Elkhart, Indiana, serving 394 students as part of Concord Community Schools, and in 2025-2026 it ranked 780 of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools (23rd percentile, 1 star).

South Side is the smallest of the four Concord elementaries, and it has the most resources per student with the lowest results. It spends $11,571 per student and runs the smallest classes in its district group (14.5 students per teacher), yet it trails Concord West Side Elementary School, Concord East Side Elementary School, and Concord Ox Bow Elementary School in all three tested subjects, with 30.4% proficiency in ELA, 30.4% in math, and 23.3% in science. Poverty is a real headwind here — 71.3% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch — but West Side serves an even poorer population (83.9%) and still outperforms South Side in every subject. The gap is sharpest in math: Monger Elementary School enrolls the same 394 students at a comparable 67.0% free/reduced lunch rate but posts 51.3% math proficiency.

Attendance is the school's clearest success story. Chronic absenteeism fell from 32.8% in 2020-2021 to 17.4% in 2024-2025 — the first year South Side beat its own district average and just 0.7 points above the state. ELA has climbed 18.5 points over three years to 30.4%, though math and science regressed in 2025-2026. It is also worth noting that South Side sits in the middle of the Elkhart-area pack: well above Mary Beck Elementary School and Premier Arts Academy, and roughly level with Pinewood Elementary School. It is the district's outlier, not the region's.
