Best Public Schools in Concordia, MO

Summary:

The city of Concordia, Missouri is home to two schools: Concordia Elementary (PK-6) and Concordia High (7-12), both part of the Concordia R-II school district. Based on the available data, Concordia High appears to be the standout school, with a higher statewide ranking, better test scores, and a higher percentage of students proficient or better in core subjects compared to Concordia Elementary.

Concordia High has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, while Concordia Elementary has a 2-star rating. Concordia High also outperforms the district and state averages in MAP/Mathematics and MAP/English Language Arts proficiency rates. Both schools serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with over 35% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite the differences in performance, both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, with Concordia High at 10 students per teacher and Concordia Elementary at 12 students per teacher. The racial makeup of the schools is predominantly white, with small percentages of Hispanic and multi-racial students. Overall, the data suggests that Concordia High is the stronger-performing school in the Concordia, Missouri area, but both schools face the challenge of serving a population with a significant percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
