Summary

Concord Elementary School serves 292 students in Kindergarten through 5th grade in the small, rural community of Concord, MI, and is part of the Concord Community Schools district.

Concord Elementary is currently facing significant academic challenges, with its statewide ranking dropping from the 61st percentile in 2021-2022 to the 24th percentile in 2025-2026. The most dramatic concern is in mathematics, where 3rd-grade proficiency fell from 56.1% (well above the state average) in 2022-2023 to just 21.1% in 2025-2026. This decline is not limited to one grade—4th and 5th-grade math scores have also fallen to roughly half the state average. For comparison, nearby HanoverHorton Elementary School (56th percentile) and Parma Elementary School (in the 60th-80th percentile range) are performing significantly better. Even Dibble Elementary School, which has a similar enrollment and a higher percentage of students on free/reduced lunch (70.2% vs. 60.6%), is ranked in the 38th percentile—a meaningful gap that suggests other schools facing similar challenges are finding ways to achieve better outcomes.

There are some bright spots worth noting. English Language Arts (ELA) performance has shown more resilience, with 3rd-grade proficiency at 35.1% in 2025-2026, much closer to the state average of 38.2%. Additionally, Concord's chronic absenteeism rate of 24.3% is actually better than the state average (27.9%) and far better than some nearby schools like Harrington Elementary School (53.6%). However, the school spends a substantial $16,033 per student—higher than Parma Elementary ($14,472) and Paragon Charter Academy ($12,738), both of which achieve far better results. This suggests the issue is not a lack of resources but rather how those resources are being used. A focused review of math instruction and curriculum would be a critical first step in reversing this downward trend.
