Summary:
Zip code 66901 has one elementary school, Concordia Elementary, serving students in prekindergarten through grade 4, with 448 students. Its clearest strength is English language arts (ELA): in 2025–26, 59% of students were proficient, compared with 46% statewide and 47% in the Concordia district. That was an advantage of 13 percentage points over the state and 12 points over the district, making ELA the school’s strongest result against both benchmarks.
There is no within-area top or bottom school to compare, because the list includes only Concordia. Its all-grades math proficiency was 43%—2 percentage points above the state’s 41%, but 2 points below the district’s 45%. Grade-level results show an important exception to that overall state comparison: grade 3 math was 49%, versus 43% statewide, while grade 4 math was 39%, versus 44% statewide. ELA was above state results in both grades: 58% versus 52% in grade 3, and 60% versus 50% in grade 4. Parents should therefore note that the above-state all-grades math result does not apply to every grade.
Results shifted modestly between 2024–25 and 2025–26, while the state improved more: Concordia’s ELA rose from 59% to 59%, and its math fell from 45% to 43%; over the same period, state ELA rose from 44% to 46% and state math from 39% to 41%. Concordia remained above the state in both subjects, but its advantage narrowed by 1 percentage point in ELA and 4 points in math. SchoolDigger gives the school 3 stars and ranks it 250th of 657 Kansas elementary schools, at the 62nd percentile. Chronic absenteeism was 16%, below the district’s 19% and the state’s 18%. The school’s 12.6 student–teacher ratio and 63% free/reduced-lunch rate provide additional context, not explanations for its results.
