Summary

Concord High School is a small, rural public high school in Concord, MI, serving 182 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Concord Community Schools district.

The most impressive thing about Concord High School right now is its remarkable turnaround in keeping students on track to graduate. For the 2024-2025 school year, the school boasts a 95.6% graduation rate—well above the state average of 84.0%—and a dropout rate of 0.0%, compared to 7.1% statewide. This is a dramatic improvement from just a few years ago, when the graduation rate was only 73.9% and the dropout rate was 10.1%. The school also invests heavily in its students, spending $18,170 per pupil, which is more than nearby Western High School ($15,092) and HanoverHorton High School ($15,650). With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.6, students benefit from a resource-rich environment that appears to be paying off in student retention and success.

However, there is a clear disconnect between graduation success and academic proficiency. While Concord excels at getting students to graduation, test scores in core subjects like math and science remain significantly below state averages—for example, only 12.2% of 10th graders are proficient in math versus 31.5% statewide. Chronic absenteeism is also a persistent challenge at 32.8%, nearly 5 percentage points higher than the state average and far above Western High School's 12.9%. When compared to similar-sized schools like Homer Community High School, Concord has a much higher graduation rate (95.6% vs. 82.2%) but lags on most standardized tests. The school's statewide ranking has improved from the 21st percentile to the 34th percentile in recent years, signaling positive momentum. For parents, this is a school that clearly keeps kids in school and graduates them, but one where academic proficiency—particularly in math—and regular attendance remain key areas needing attention.

I love this school. Great community, great small town feel. The community really supports and rallies around the school. I was skeptical at first, but I came to love everything Concord offered my kids. Close Quote
