Summary

Concord Elementary is a K–5 school in Edina, Minnesota, serving 741 students as part of the Edina Public School District. It is the largest elementary school among its nearby comparison schools, and it is a 5-star school ranked #18 of 869 Minnesota elementary schools in 2025–26, placing it in the 98th percentile. That standing is no one-year fluke: Concord has earned 5 stars every year shown and has ranked in the 98th percentile in most recent years, with its only dip in 2018–19 still leaving it a 5-star school.

Math and reading are Concord's strongest areas. In 2025–26, 82.2% of students were proficient in math and 77.0% in reading, well above the district (72.4% and 75.4%) and the state (44.9% and 48.6%), and Concord beat the district in every tested grade in both subjects. Among Edina elementaries, Concord posted the highest math and reading scores, with Creek Valley Elementary very close behind and slightly ahead in science and state rank. Science is the relative weak spot: 49.3% proficiency trails the district's all-grade 55.3% and Creek Valley's 55.7%, though it is above the grade-5 district figure and nearly double the state's 25.9%. Science also dropped sharply in 2024–25, which is worth monitoring. Nearby, Lake Harriet Upper Elementary in Minneapolis ranks #3 statewide and scores higher in all three subjects, and Armatage Elementary is comparable, so Concord is elite locally but not the absolute top of the wider group.

About 9% of Concord students qualify for free or reduced lunch (9.04% in 2024–25), lower than most nearby schools, and its student-teacher ratio of 16.1 is higher than most Edina peers — yet outcomes remain in the top 2% statewide. Subgroup effectiveness is notably strong: special education students rank #8 of 579 (99th percentile) and English language learners #15 of 305 (95th percentile). The one relative gap is low-SES students, at the 82nd percentile in 2025–26 — above average and up sharply from 65th in 2023–24, but below the school's otherwise elite profile.
