Read what parents are saying about Concord Schools

In just one year two teachers and the principal resigned giving the students no sense of stability. And a merge came from a other town causing chaos in the school taking the small classes and adding a lot more kids to them and causing discomfort between the kids from each school in the merge.

Concord School has made tremendous improvements in the last 3 years and there is now a focus of attention and resources for the K-8 program while offering school choice for high school age students. Would highly recommend Concord School as an option for a quality education in a caring atmosphere.

As a parent of a student, I would have to say this school is not a good school for your kids. I was told by the principal that I can go to the class room because I record them. They made false reports about me so I record for my safety. They didn't do anything to stop another parent from going out of control in the parking lot in font of the kids. They superintendent of the school didn't call me back and fix this problem. They never told any other parents about it. This isn't what you want for your kids in a school. For the ones that say give proof well here you go.

This school is great! Although many people would like to close the school (i.e. mostly parents of students that don't go to Concord) Ask the students opinion! The school is small yes! So what does that mean... Better chances of playing sports, teacher, student, and parents all able to communicate and get help, and much more! The majority of students that go to Concord and try hard become successful. All of my family that went to this school and tried hard did great! Of course the school has flaws.. what school doesn't? You see because the school is small it draws more attention to every little detail and flaw, but within a larger school much less attention is drawn to even the larger things. Concord school does not have more or less flaws than any other school, ours just are not hidden. -- A student

Unfortunately I agree with the comment that CHS is a poorly run school. My husband was not hired back for the fall as one of the most exceptional Sped teachers in the state. He is dedicated, honest, caring and wants what's best for the kids. But he made it very clear to me that a lot of the teachers there weren't interested in doing what was best for the kids; they didn't want their routine interrupted by a man with over 30 years experience. And it seems that the superintendent had no idea what was going on. It seems he listened to only one side of the story and made his decision not to hire my husband back based on the opinions of poor teachers. It's too bad; CHS could have been something special. Now my husband has no job, the kids have no one to stand up for them or look out for them. Thank you Brian, Mr. Superintendent.

The person who wrote the second review is probably a teacher or a parent of one of the favored students. There are many other parents that are unhappy with the status quo particularly with the seventh and eighth grade teachers. Waterford's "stellar" reputation has been damaged because for the first time the school 's students did not meet NECAP standards. This was probably due to the social atmosphere under the former regime. We had positive experiences in the lower grades but transferred our children for middle school to insure that they would be better prepared for high school. There have been students who reported being poorly prepared in math for high school algebra despite being placed in "accelerated" classes by the Waterford math teacher. I would not recommend this school for middle school unless teachers are held accountable to teach all the students, give extra help when needed, and avoid favoritism. It would also be more appropriate to have socialization between staff be done after school hours as there seems to be difficulty maintaining that separation at school
