I grew up at Concordia and now my three children are attending and we love it. The teachers are supportive and do what they need to do make your child successful. The education is Christ centered and geared in a way to help build their faith. The school is well worth the cost.

The academic program is great. At times I think to much is expected of the students. I know that sounds odd but in the upper grades the expectation to perform at a high school level gets a bit out of control. The teachers are well trained and caring. The extracurricular activities are wide in sports

This is a great school if you live in the 1940's. Academically, the school tests well, but there are no programs for gifted or delayed students. The church and school seem to expect families to have two parents, one who makes lots of money, and one who volunteers at the school a lot. We found both

In general Concordia is a good school. Maybe my expectations were too high in the beginning, but I thought the teachers wanted to work as partners with parents through student issues. It turns out, they only want to work through it if the parent agrees with them. Very little flexibility. The school
