GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Overall I have loved attending Concord High School. All the teachers and staff are amazing, you can tell they really care about their students. I am a third year leadership student and I love that I am able to be so involved on campus. Planning activities and events for our student body while also having fun and doing lots of behind the scenes work.

My experience in CHS has been great. There are a lot of events that students can join and support sports teams, also dance and rallies are really fun and leadership does a good job organizing them.

There are a lot of helpful teachers that I can talk to and trust. I would change the food and make it more nutritious.

This school is horrible. Principal Julene Mckinnon has used racial slurs infront of other black students and defends only white kids. The Pe teachers are horrible too. This school does not care about your kids wellbeing at all. Theres so much more worse stuff about this school I cant even name them...
