I have had a pretty decent experience at this school. All the teachers are so great and they truly care about their students. One difference I would like to see in the future, would be better funding for sports.

School was very diverse and was a good area to make friends. Concord had little school spirit and the athletic department was not that good when I went there. Hopefully the minutemen can see a change in that field.

As a student at concord high school, I enjoy the respect I am given by staff and students. The teachers are putting in so much effort to make sure our education is successful and they want us to succeed in our future. Another thing I enjoy is the events. All of the events at concord high are well organized and worth everyone's time. Lastly, the variety of electives and art classes is amazing for students to try something new.

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...
