“Concentric provides districts and schools with individualized support to address the non-cognitive barriers that prevent students from becoming successful. The systems that were developed by this company allowed us to revamp our previous MTSS model with data sets that were more impactful.”

“Concentric has helped our school to institute systems and structures around supporting the whole child at our school. Additionally, Concentric Educational Solutions has provided needed support for reaching parents that may be reluctant to come to the school. Their team was willing and able to take paperwork and information from the school and deliver it directly to the families. This has helped foster a better relationship with our parents and community members.”

“Napier Elementary School partnered with Concentric in September 2017. This partnership has served the Napier community well. We are grateful to work with individuals who are like-minded and share a passion to serve families and help students develop holistically.

Concentric meets biweekly with district and school personnel to select cohorts of students who demonstrate attendance and discipline challenges. The additional personnel allows us to widen our impact and meet the needs of families as well as provides additional opportunities for us to interact with our families and enhance our relationships. Also, we are able to identify ways to address challenges that negatively impact these non-academic factors and utilize resources to fill gaps in support and services.”

“Due to your diligence in visiting homes and inspiring our parents to send their children to school each day, we have exceeded our original expectations. The Moravia Park family and community are thriving because of the dedication of your company and associates.”

“Concentric has been a great partner to TFA Baltimore. David and his team are committed first and foremost to students - and they are flexible, compelling, and supportive in their approach to equipping teachers and other educators with the skills, knowledge, and mindsets to build impactful relationships with students and families through home visits and beyond.”

“Concentric has helped our schools in thinking about ways to engage our parents and staff in the process of re-engagement. Their work is important to helping us address the instructional core and provide external supports to students and families having challenges with traditional schooling.”

“Concentric’s collaborative and cooperative approach has been apparent in all of the work they have done with FOCUS. The workshops they facilitate for school leaders and staff through FOCUS consistently receives positive evaluations from participants; In fact, participants have requested follow up workshops so they can continue to learn and benefit from the breadth and depth of knowledge that Concentric brings to the charter community via ‘engaging presentations.’ We look forward to continuing our partnership with Concentric as they grow.”

“Concentric Educational Solutions has been a jewel for strengthening our current support systems and resources at Paul. They identified student-centered strategies and recommendations that will maximize teaching and learning in order to improve student achievement. The passion for the work they do is very evident with every encounter. Dr. Heiber challenges the status quo, and possesses the knowledge and skills to guide any school, in any situation to a place of greater success.”

Concentric Educational Solutions Inc. meaningfully partners with school districts to support its most vulnerable learners. Their impact has been significant in two large urban districts where I served as a former Deputy Superintendent and former Superintendent. In both situations, Concentric helped us structure supports in a way that re-engaged students and families and allowed us to meet the needs of our most complex students.”

Concentric is a value add to our school community without a doubt. They build meaningful relationships with our students, especially those who struggle with attendance and work individually with them to grow their social and emotional development. Concentric supports the mission and vision of our school."

“I have had the pleasure of working with Concentric for almost a decade. Concentric is not just any company but a critical part of the work we do at Douglass. I have worked with them at two schools; I am most impressed how they customize a plan of support for each location instead of taking the cookie-cutter approach. Concentric is awesome and we are elated to have them as a part of our team.”

"Concentric Educational Services (CES) has been a tremendous strategic partner for our school district. In working with CES, we have seen a mindset shift among staff when it comes to supporting our students and building stronger relationships with the families in which we serve. Additionally, many parents have been appreciative of the District's efforts to support them and their children beyond the walls of the schoolhouse. As a result, we have experienced increased engagement levels with students and parents alike, even in the midst of the pandemic."

"Concentric Educational Solutions is a vital partner with the Ecorse Public Schools. The wrap-around services, which include attendance support, home wellness visits and MTSS analysis, have allowed our district to better serve our K-12 students. We are honored to partner with them."
