Summary:
The 49237 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Concord Community Schools district. While the schools show some relative strengths, they face significant challenges in providing equitable, high-quality education to their students.
Concord Middle School appears to be the strongest performer, ranking 396 out of 890 Michigan middle schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its proficiency rates on state assessments are generally higher than the district and state averages, particularly in 8th grade science and social studies. In contrast, Concord High School has lower overall rankings, but stands out for its relatively high 11th grade science proficiency rates and a solid 82.8% four-year graduation rate, though its dropout rate of 7.6% is on the higher side.
Across the district, the schools face significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates (ranging from 29.5% to 29.5%), high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch (48.47% to 63.49%), and consistently lower proficiency rates on state assessments compared to state averages, particularly in math and English language arts. These factors suggest the district is struggling to provide equitable, high-quality education to its students, and addressing the root causes of these issues will be crucial for improving student outcomes.
