Summary:
Concord Community Schools has only one elementary school, Concord Elementary School, serving students in the area. Based on the available data, Concord Elementary School appears to be a struggling school, consistently ranking in the bottom half of Michigan elementary schools and performing significantly below state averages in academic assessments.
Concord Elementary School has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and its M-Step test scores in English Language Arts and Math are well below the state averages across grades 3-5. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 21.4% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 38.9%, and only 23.3% were proficient or better in Math, compared to the state average of 42.7%. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which likely contributes to its poor academic performance.
While Concord Elementary School spends more per student than the state average and has a slightly lower student-teacher ratio, these factors have not translated into better academic outcomes for the school's students. With a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 63.49%, the school faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its student population. To improve the school's performance, the Concord Community Schools district and school leaders may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the root causes of the school's struggles.
