Summary:
The Concord Community Schools district in Michigan consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the schools, Concord Middle School stands out as the strongest performer, ranking 396 out of 890 Michigan middle schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The middle school has relatively strong test scores, with 6th grade ELA proficiency at 44.7% and 8th grade science proficiency at 64.4%, both above state averages. In contrast, the Concord High School and Concord Elementary School struggle academically, with student proficiency rates often 10-20 percentage points below state averages.
A key concern across the district is the high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.5% to 29.5%, which are significantly higher than the state average. This, combined with the high rates of economic disadvantage, suggests that the district faces significant challenges in addressing equity and improving student outcomes. While the district spends above the state average per student, the variation in school quality within the district indicates that there is room for improvement to better serve the Concord Community Schools' students and community.
