Concord Graded/Middle School

Q: Is Concord Graded/Middle School a good school?

Concord Graded/Middle School ranks 58 th of 113 Vermont elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Concord Graded/Middle School is a public elementary and middle school in Concord, Vermont, serving 156 students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. While the school is part of the Kingdom East Unified Union School District, which is ranked 36 out of 51 school districts in the state, Concord Graded/Middle School faces several challenges that set it apart from nearby schools.

One key differentiator is the school's racial makeup, with a significantly higher percentage of white students (93.59%) compared to the state average and nearby schools like Lyndon Town School and St. Johnsbury School, which have more diverse student populations. Academically, Concord Graded/Middle School's performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally below the state average across various grade levels and subject areas, with 7th-grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts (20%) and Mathematics (10%) significantly lower than the state averages. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated but has generally been in the lower half of Vermont elementary schools, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger in the 2022-2023 school year.

Additionally, Concord Graded/Middle School has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, with 50% of students qualifying in the 2022-2023 school year. This is higher than the rates at some nearby schools, such as Waterford Elementary School (18.18%) and Barnet Elementary School (39.26%), suggesting that Concord Graded/Middle School serves a relatively disadvantaged population, which may contribute to its lower academic performance compared to more affluent nearby schools.

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.
