Summary:
The city of Concord, Vermont has only one school, the Concord Graded/Middle School, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 144 students. The school is part of the Kingdom East Unified Union School District #64, which is ranked 56 out of 75 districts in Vermont and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The Concord Graded/Middle School has seen a concerning decline in its performance over the past three years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 58th out of 113 Vermont elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 120th out of 137 in 2024-2025, and its SchoolDigger star rating declining from 3 to 1. The school's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally below the statewide averages, with only 50% of 6th graders and 52.17% of 7th graders proficient or better in ELA, and just 11.11% of 6th graders and 39.13% of 7th graders proficient or better in Math. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 40.3%, which could be a contributing factor to its low academic performance.
Despite the school's challenges, it does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.4 to 1, which could be a positive factor in providing more individualized attention and support for students. However, the high percentage of students (65.28%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests that the school may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which can also impact educational outcomes. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach to support the students and improve the school's overall outcomes.
