Summary:
Concord Community Schools in Michigan has one middle school, Concord Middle School, serving students in grades 6-8. The school's academic performance lags behind state averages, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies falling short of Michigan's benchmarks. Additionally, Concord Middle School faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism and a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with over 56% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Concord Middle School's student-teacher ratio of 14.1 is slightly lower than the state average, but the school's spending per student of $15,885 is higher than the state's average. Despite these resources, the school's academic outcomes remain a concern, with proficiency rates ranging from 33.3% in 6th grade English Language Arts to 51.2% in 7th grade, compared to state averages of 37.5% and 37.9%, respectively. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates are even lower, ranging from 27.1% in 6th grade to 30.2% in 7th grade, compared to state averages of 31% and 32.1%.
The high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.9% at Concord Middle School is a significant challenge, as it may be a contributing factor to the school's academic underperformance. Additionally, the school's economically disadvantaged population suggests that additional resources and support may be needed to help students overcome barriers to learning. Overall, Concord Community Schools and Concord Middle School face several areas of concern that require a comprehensive approach to improve student outcomes and support the success of the school community.
