Summary:
The Concordia R-II school district in Missouri has only one elementary school, Concordia Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 244 students. While there are no other schools to directly compare Concordia Elementary to within the district, the school's performance can be evaluated in the context of state-level averages for Missouri.
Concordia Elementary is currently ranked 648 out of 900 Missouri elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. The school's ranking has declined over the past few years, going from 611 out of 898 schools in 2022-2023 (2 stars) to 656 out of 906 schools in 2023-2024 (1 star). Academically, Concordia Elementary's proficiency rates on the MAP (Missouri Assessment Program) tests are significantly below the state averages in Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts across multiple grade levels. For example, in 3rd grade Mathematics, Concordia Elementary had a 18.5% proficiency rate compared to the state average of 41.4%. Additionally, the school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 16.9% in the 2023-2024 school year.
Despite these challenges, Concordia Elementary does have some positive factors, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.8 and per-student spending that is above the state average. However, the school's high percentage of students (40.98%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may be contributing to the academic struggles. Addressing the declining performance, significant proficiency gaps, and high chronic absenteeism will likely require a comprehensive approach from the school and district to improve the educational outcomes for the students of Concordia Elementary.
