As a person who has witnessed to this school, I can confirm that Concordia High School is a safe place where the teachers and administration love and care for the students. Some people may put this school down, but those statements are false. The teachers do care for problems that students have, and the teachers do help students with their homework.

While I was at this school, I was bullied due to my economic status. If you are not of the same economic status, are of the Missouri synod teaching or good at anything that makes the school look good don't waste your money. When it comes to the bullying the teachers don't stop it or handle it at all, they just let it happen and when you finally have a enough and stand up for yourself, you're the one who gets into trouble and has to go see the counselor.

In this review, I put aside the fundamentalist religious indoctrination that comes with this institution and its curriculum, and instead focused on the environment it harbors. Even with all of that aside, this community is overwhelmingly negative and hostile towards students that come from a socioeconomic background that does not match the mold that most teachers or students come from. There was a lot of bullying from staff and students alike on the basis of race, class, and gender. This is not a good environment for an adolescent whose formative years are shaped by social interaction. This place shows no compassion to students who do not come from a strictly Anglo-Saxon, Missouri-Synod, neurotypical, heterosexual, upper-middle class background.

This school touts itself as preparing students to be strong Christian leaders, however, there is a lack of compassion and I found the school to be very judgemental. The school is supposedly Missouri Synod Lutheran, but I was raised Missouri Synod Lutheran and also attended a private Missouri Synod High School and I can assure people this scool is not Missouri Synod, but more fundamentalist in their teaching. Luther was hardly discussed in religion class. Women are considered to be less than men and are supposed to stay home and have babies. Bullying exists and it is not just the students doing the bullying. If you want a Christian education, I strongly encourage you to look at other schools

My son will be a sophomore this coming fall and though being a freshman was a little tougher than he thought he came through great and really enjoyed his experience at Concordia. The only downfall I see is the communication between the school and parents of the students. We love Concordia and look forward to the next 3 years there.

Since becoming a member of the Concordia family a few years ago, we've never been treated with anything but pure kindness and words of encouragement. Our daughters love the experience, and there is a great dynamic between parents, teachers, and administrators. Concordia is a blessing, God's grace is not just taught, it's practiced daily. We have no doubt our kids are well-equipped to face life's challenges ahead of them.

Concordia has provided an excellent education for my children. My oldest recently graduated and earned a full-ride scholarship to the college of his choice, due in large part to the education received at Concordia. My children have been involved in many extra curricular activities, rounding out their school experience in rich ways. The teachers know my boys personally and respond quickly to my email. I really feel like we have a partnership.

I have seen my children benefit from the care and attention of the staff and other students. It is wonderful to be in a school where the other parents and staff are like minded and want the best for my child.

Concordia junior senior high would be a great option for those who have always attended a private school, but for those who transfer in from a public school (like myself) have a hard time. Yes the school had a community feel from the outside, but coming into the school as a new sophomore this year was really hard. I can say I have about two friends. People aren't as open minded there as they say they are. Which describes the religion class greatly. I found them to be very closed minded. If you believe in gay marriage, pro choice, no death penalty or anything of that sort I would not recommend concordia because they teach you the opposite of that. This school was a huge disappointment to me and many students that go there right now. Please consider other options before just choosing this one! I know it made my spiritual and social life a lot worse.

As a graduate from the school I will tell you it's what one makes of it. If it were not for this school, I can tell you I would be a failure, not only academically but spiritually as well. There are problems with this school, yes. But as are with EVERY OTHER school. The community in this school is unlike any public school. It is a safe enviornment where a student can build a relationship with the kids AND teachers. Thats rare. The people that only complain about everything about the school WANT there to be something wrong. That will not have a good time. As a former student I am VERY thankful I went to Cordia. It has only made me a better person Academically and Spiritually. As to the quality of education, do the work and you will succeed. Simple as that.

My son is a 10th grader at Concordia Jr/Sr High School. I like that it's a small school. Ideally this would mean that the students receive more one-on-one help. This isn't the case. There are a few teachers who are wonderful, but the other ones are oblivious to the fact that their students are failing. They offer no assistance to those students. They don't even inform the parents that their child is failing. The principal is far from helpful. He's condescending and acts like he has a chip on his shoulder, to both the kids and the parents. For nearly $9000/year tuition, it is NOT worth it!
