The school building itself is a ancient building. The bathrooms are broken and some of the stalls are overflowing. The building itself was made in the 1960's, and they never tried to fix it. The ceiling tiles sometimes just fall out, because nothing is holding them. The teachers don't really care about teaching the students either. They give us packets about topics we never have learned before, and require us to do 3-page homework packets for only 30 minutes maximum. Some of the teachers are very nice, but most of them get paid so little, that they don't really care about anything. The special education program is also "not the best". I have seen many children with special needs out in the halls, alone, crying, nobody even caring about them. They forbid us from touching snow, but apparently bullies are not against the rules.All in all, the school is complete trash.

We’ve had children attend Willard Elementary for five years . This is a wonderful, warm environment that supports students in every way; social/emotional development and academics. They have an amazing reading progress team that will seek out areas of weakness and support students in small groups that may otherwise fall behind. I wish I could say they have the same setup for math services, but maybe one day in the future. The faculty and staff at Willard are wonderful (from front office to school counselors and specials teachers) and we feel very fortunate to have our children attend this school.

My 2 kids went through CCHS and graduated recently. This school is excellent, from the new facilities, to the course offerings, tje quality of the education, emphasis on going to college, the sports opportunities and extracurricular activities, to the teachers (Teachers are the highest paid in the state and so they tend to get the best). The only negative thing I would say is that the DEI and wokeness of the general Concord community has infiltrated the schools too (there is a well paid “DEI leader” for the schools).
