Concord is a wonderful school with a caring staff and great kids.

I have a child with disabilities at this school and it has been like pulling teeth to get help for him. They are not forthcoming about the help that is available and seem to mostly ignore the bullying that takes place. They waited two years to start a 504 plan even after repeatedly being asked to.

Unqualified teachers are routinely hired. Some longstanding teachers are qualified, but only a few remain. Turnover rates of both families and teachers are high. The administrator routinely makes promises and does not follow through, and attempts to hide issues at the school. Straight answers will not be given to valid concerns like school safety and teacher qualifications. Leadership is lacking. Kids are taught by example that integrity and honesty are not important. The school is not what it once was.
