Source-derived summary

Concordia Lutheran High School is a private Christian high school located in Tomball, Texas, in Northwest Houston.

Children associated with local Lutheran churches are eligible to receive lower tuition rates.

Concordia is accredited by National Lutheran School Accreditation, the Lutheran School Accreditation Commission - Texas, and the Texas Private School Accreditation Commission. It is recognized by the Texas Education Agency.

History

It had 515 students in the 2014–2015 school year, and 585 in the 2015–2016 school year; at that time the school's capacity was maxed out and it used portable classrooms to house some of the students. The school's head, Joel Bode, stated that expansion of Texas State Highway 249 resulted in an increase of enrollment. Bode stated that while he knew some Exxon employees began sending their children to the school after the company opened offices in northern Harris County, the school so far had not experienced "tremendous growth directly from Exxon" although businesses related to Exxon moving to northern Harris County may be indirectly impacting the school's enrollment.

An expansion began construction in late March 2015, and was scheduled for completion in March 2016. In addition to classroom space this wing was to have classrooms, an art room, a green room, and four science laboratories. As of January 2017 the school had about 600 students.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “tomball, Texas” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5158974. Authority coordinates are 30.100, -95.606. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
