Concord High School

No school-level state test proficiency data was provided for Concord in this profile, so academic outcomes can't be compared to the district's roughly 61% ELA and 61% math proficiency averages. What stands out instead is the structural picture: an average class size of 23.4 (matching the district average) and 36% IEP students — well above what most high schools carry — within a student body of only 165. That staffing-per-pupil ratio is unusually generous for the district.

The day-to-day feel here is unusually warm by almost every measure families and teachers reported. Parent satisfaction hit 100% and parent-teacher trust 98%, both well above the district averages of roughly 93%. Teacher-reported instruction quality was 100%, also far above the district's 93%, and teacher collegial trust was 94%. Teacher-principal trust, at 82%, was the one softer number — still respectable but the lowest score on the board, suggesting some staff-administration friction is worth asking about. Family survey response was 84%, which is extraordinarily high for a school of any size and tells you families here are deeply engaged. Zero suspensions, in a district averaging about 0.4%, is the headline of the climate story.

The student body is about 47% Hispanic, 40% Black, 9% White, and a small mix of Asian, multiracial, and Native American students — a diversity index of 61%. The economic need index of 89.9 places Concord among higher-need schools citywide, and 36% of students have IEPs, a share far above what most high schools see.

Rosebank-Shore Acres-Park Hill is a mixed-income neighborhood on Staten Island's East Shore. Median household income is about $77,882 with a 13.8% poverty rate, and 53.8% of households own their homes at a median value near $553,000. Roughly 14.7% of households have children, and 29.5% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher — a solidly middle-class, family-oriented area without being affluent.

Concord is not a walk-to-subway school for most families. The Grasmere SIR stop is about an 11-minute walk and Old Town on the SIR is roughly 20 minutes on foot, so most students likely arrive by school bus, car, or parent drop-off.
