Concord Elementary School

Summary:

Concord Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 184 students in grades K-6 in Concord, Arkansas, which is part of the Concord School District. While the district is ranked 69 out of 252 school districts in Arkansas and has a 4-star rating, Concord Elementary School faces significant challenges in terms of student academic performance.

Concord Elementary School's test scores are generally below the state and district averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 28.2% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 33.8% statewide and 34% for the Concord School District. Similarly, the school's math proficiency rate of 33.7% lags the state (36.4%) and district (35.8%) averages. Additionally, Concord Elementary has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 63.04% to 77.49% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8 to 9.2 over the past few years, and spending $12,510 per student, which is higher than the spending levels of most nearby schools, Concord Elementary School's academic performance is still lagging. When compared to nearby schools, such as West Side Elementary School and Heber Springs Elementary School, Concord Elementary School generally performs worse on standardized tests. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and school type are important in driving student success, and the school and district should focus on addressing the needs of the economically disadvantaged student population.

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.
