Summary

Concord Elementary in Anderson, SC, is a PK-5 school serving 615 students within the Anderson 05 district, and it has a well-earned reputation as a strong academic choice for families.

Concord consistently outperforms both its district and state averages in core subjects. For example, 5th grade English Language Arts proficiency is nearly 80%, which is about 13 points higher than the district average, and 4th grade science proficiency (62%) dramatically exceeds the state average (52%). The school also shines in its support for specific groups of learners, ranking in the 82nd percentile statewide for gifted students and the 80th percentile for students with disabilities. Another major strength is attendance: Concord's chronic absenteeism rate is just 14.1%, which is nearly half the district average (24.8%) and far better than nearby schools like Whitehall Elementary (34.2%) or Homeland Park Primary (35.2%). This consistency in the classroom is a big plus for parents.

However, it's important to note that the school's overall state ranking has slipped over the past several years, from the 94th percentile in 2018-2019 down to the 75th percentile for 2025-2026. While still a solid school, this decline is most noticeable in recent effectiveness with certain student groups. When compared to its neighbors, Concord sits in the middle-to-upper tier of the district. Top performers like Midway Elementary and North Pointe Elementary rank slightly higher, while Varennes Elementary and New Prospect Elementary trail significantly behind. Notably, Concord achieves these results while spending less per student ($12,971) than most of its peers, making it a highly efficient school. For parents, this means a strong, well-managed school that delivers solid academics, though it may be worth watching how the school addresses its recent performance trends.

My children attended this school and both had a great experience. We really appreciated the benefits an IB school provides, especially foreign language instruction. I would highly recommend Concord to any family moving to the Anderson area. Close Quote
