Summary:
Concord School District in Arkansas has only one elementary school, Concord Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. While the district as a whole is ranked 69 out of 252 districts in the state and rated 4 out of 5 stars, the individual performance of Concord Elementary School is somewhat mixed.
Concord Elementary School's academic performance on ATLAS/ACTASP assessments is generally below the state average across various subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates ranging from 17.8% to 46.4% in 2023-2024, compared to the state averages of 33.8% to 38%. However, the school's performance on ACT Aspire assessments in 2022-2023 was more varied, with some grade levels performing above the state average and others performing below. The school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (63.04% in 2022-2023), which is often an indicator of economic disadvantage, but a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.5 to 1.
The data suggests that Concord Elementary School faces some challenges in consistently delivering strong academic outcomes, despite the district's overall performance and the school's relatively high per-student spending of $12,510 in 2018-2019. Further analysis may be needed to identify the root causes of the school's inconsistent performance and develop targeted strategies to support student success, particularly in addressing the socioeconomic factors that may be impacting the school's outcomes.
