Concord Community Schools

Monday, September 2nd, Concord Schools will be closed for Labor Day! School will resume Tuesday, September 3rd. Have a great weekend!

At Concord Community Schools, we’re growing great readers! State reading exam results were recently released for last year’s third grade class and CCS saw 7% more students pass the IREAD-3 test! Statewide, .6% more students passed. We had 77.8% of students pass the exam, up from 70.8% the previous year. That’s a huge increase in just one year! Congrats and job well done to our K-3 teachers, students and parent partners who are supporting this work by reading with their child at home!
