Summary

Concord West Side Elementary School is a K–4 school in Elkhart, Indiana, serving 504 students as part of Concord Community Schools, making it one of the larger elementary schools in its district and the surrounding area. The school has been on a clear upward climb: in 2020–2021 it ranked 936th of 1,016 Indiana elementary schools (8th percentile, 0 stars), and by 2025–2026 it had risen to 639th of 1,015 (37th percentile, 2 stars). It is still below the state median, but the improvement shows up across several measures. It also serves a high-poverty population — 83.93% of students received free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025, the highest rate among nearby schools.

On 2025–2026 ILEARN tests, 34.36% of West Side students were proficient in English language arts, 40.00% in math, and 34.74% in science. Within the district, that places West Side ahead of Concord South Side Elementary School in all three subjects but behind Concord East Side Elementary School and Concord Ox Bow Elementary School. It outperforms Mary Daly Elementary School, Mary Beck Elementary School, Roosevelt STEAM Academy, and Premier Arts Academy, and is roughly comparable to Monger Elementary School in ELA, though Monger is much stronger in math. The clearest academic gaps are fourth-grade ELA (33.68%, versus 44.11% in the district and 42.20% statewide) and third-grade math (34.00%, versus 37.11% district and 51.90% state). Fourth-grade math is a relative bright spot at 46.32%, close to district and state averages.

Attendance is a genuine strength. Chronic absenteeism was 14.9% in 2024–2025 — better than the district (18.6%) and the state (16.7%), and far below the 29.5% recorded in 2020–2021. That stands out because West Side serves the highest-poverty population in its comparison group, yet its attendance beats many nearby schools with lower poverty rates. Per-student spending was $10,782 in 2023–2024, below several nearby schools with lower free/reduced-lunch rates, and the student-teacher ratio was 16.8, roughly mid-pack. Overall, this is a high-poverty school making real progress, with attendance and science as strengths and early literacy and math foundations as the areas to watch.
