Concordia Elementary

Summary:

Concordia Elementary is a public elementary school located in Concordia, Kansas, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 459 students. The school is part of the Concordia School District, which is ranked 120 out of 266 districts in Kansas and is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Concordia Elementary has consistently performed above the district and state averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency rates over the past few years. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rate for all grades was 47.64%, compared to the district's 30.23% and the state's 33.55%. In the same year, Concordia Elementary's Mathematics proficiency rate for all grades was 44.29%, compared to the district's 34.55% and the state's 31.6%. The school's 3rd and 4th-grade students have also outperformed their district and state counterparts in both ELA and Mathematics. However, the school has struggled with Special Education and Disabled students, ranking in the bottom 25% of Kansas elementary schools in these categories.

Compared to the nearby schools, such as Clifton-Clyde Grade School K-3, Glasco Elementary, and Belleville East Elementary, Concordia Elementary generally outperforms them in academic proficiency rates, particularly in ELA and Mathematics. This suggests that Concordia Elementary may be a more desirable option for families in the region, and the school could potentially attract more students and expand its enrollment.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
