Summary

Concordia Elementary is a public elementary school in Concordia, Kansas, serving 450 students in grades PK-4. The school is part of the Concordia School District, which is ranked 124 out of 264 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Concordia Elementary has consistently outperformed the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency, with 3rd and 4th-grade students particularly excelling. Compared to nearby schools, such as Clifton-Clyde Grade School K-3, Concordia Elementary's proficiency rates are generally higher. However, Clifton-Clyde Grade School K-3 has outperformed Concordia Elementary in both ELA and Math proficiency in recent years. The school spends approximately $12,018 per student, which is higher than the state average and some of the nearby schools, and maintains a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio of around 12.8 students per teacher.

While Concordia Elementary has maintained a stable 3-star rating, there are areas for improvement. The school has a higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, and its performance for students in special education and disabled subgroups has been consistently lower than the state average and other nearby schools. Additionally, Concordia Elementary has seen a rising chronic absenteeism rate, reaching nearly 20% in the 2024-2025 school year, which is a concern. Addressing these challenges and learning from the practices of higher-performing neighboring schools, such as Clifton-Clyde Grade School K-3, could help Concordia Elementary enhance the educational experience and outcomes for all its students.
