Concord Elementary faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (81.82%) and consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Maryland elementary schools, with a ranking between 553 and 779 out of 802-867 schools over the past 10 years. This is significantly lower than the nearby schools, such as Capitol Heights Elementary, which have rankings ranging from 129 to 856 out of 859 schools. Concord Elementary's proficiency rates on the MCAP assessments are consistently lower than the Prince George's County and Maryland state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

Additionally, Concord Elementary has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 61.54% to 94.29% over the past three years, significantly higher than the surrounding schools. Despite the relatively high per-student spending at Concord Elementary, ranging from $15,028 to $17,097 over the past three years, the school's academic performance remains low, suggesting that funding alone may not be the sole factor in improving student outcomes. Addressing the persistent challenges at Concord Elementary will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that considers the unique needs and context of the school and its community.

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.
