Summary:
ZIP code 66901 has three public schools in the Concordia district, serving prekindergarten through grade 12 and enrolling 1,149 students. Results differ by subject and school: Concordia Elementary leads in English language arts (ELA), while the middle school and high school show notably different math and science results. Because the schools serve different grade spans, all-grades comparisons are not strictly like-for-like. The clearest current standout is Concordia Middle in math and science.
Concordia Elementary has the strongest all-grades ELA result: 59% proficient, 13 percentage points above the state and 11 points ahead of Middle, the next-highest school. Its math results vary by grade: grade 3 is 7 points above the state, but grade 4 is 6 points below. Concordia Middle leads in math at 54%—13 points above the state—and science at 56%, 18 points above. Its ELA is 48%, just 2 points above the state, and grade 6 ELA is 1 point below its grade-level state result. Concordia Junior-Senior High has the lowest all-grades ELA and math results, and the lowest science result among the two schools with science scores: ELA is 40%, 6 points below the state; math is 42%, 1 point above; and science is 34%, 4 points below.
Recent changes show different trajectories: Middle’s science result rose 14 percentage points, while Junior-Senior High’s fell 5; high-school math rose 6 points and ELA rose 4, though ELA remains below the state. SchoolDigger ranks Elementary 250th of 657 schools (62nd percentile) and Junior-Senior High 156th of 340 (54th percentile); the high school’s percentile improved from 49 the prior year but remains below 58 two years earlier, while Elementary stayed near 62–63. Attendance is another distinction: chronic absenteeism is 25% at Junior-Senior High, 16% at Elementary, and 5% at Middle, compared with 18% statewide. Student-teacher ratios are 12.0 at the high school, 12.6 at Elementary, and 16.4 at Middle; reported free/reduced-lunch rates are 53%, 63%, and 59%, respectively, as context rather than an explanation of results.
