Summary:
Concordia, Kansas is home to a single elementary school, Concordia Elementary. This school serves students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade and is part of the Concordia school district. While Concordia Elementary has consistently ranked in the top 50% of Kansas elementary schools over the past 3 years, its performance has been mixed compared to state averages.
In the 2023-2024 school year, Concordia Elementary outperformed the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency for all grades and 3rd grade, but underperformed in 4th grade. Similarly, in Mathematics, the school outperformed the state average for all grades and 3rd grade, but underperformed in 4th grade. This suggests the need for the school to examine its curriculum, teaching methods, and targeted interventions to address the areas of underperformance.
Concordia Elementary has a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.7 suggests adequate staffing resources, but the high per-student spending of $12,018 may indicate other resource allocation challenges. Overall, while Concordia Elementary has shown some strengths, a more comprehensive analysis of the school district and local factors would be necessary to identify areas for improvement and develop strategies to support student success.
