Concord Elementary School

Summary:

Concord Elementary School is a public elementary school in Concord, Michigan, serving around 290 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Concord Community Schools district, which is ranked 420 out of 610 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Concord Elementary School faces several challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (around 74%) and a lower percentage of minority students. Chronic absenteeism has been steadily increasing, reaching 15.5% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average and some nearby schools like Parma Elementary School. Academically, Concord Elementary's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math are below the state and district averages, and the school's statewide ranking has declined from 648 out of 1,448 Michigan elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 931 out of 1,486 in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (around 64%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low socioeconomic status compared to the state and nearby schools.

Interestingly, nearby schools like Sharp Park Academy and Parma Elementary School have significantly higher academic performance and statewide rankings compared to Concord Elementary. This suggests that there may be opportunities for Concord Elementary to learn from the practices and strategies of these higher-performing schools. Addressing the underlying causes of chronic absenteeism and focusing on the needs of specific student subgroups, such as male students, white students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, could be important steps in improving the school's overall performance and outcomes.

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.
