GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

By far the worst elementary school, they do not help with children with special needs. They also allow bullying and they do absolutely nothing about it. Sick of this school. If I wasn’t forced to send my kids here by law my kids wouldn’t even be attending school.

All 3 of my kids have went to Costner and I think it is a great school all the way around. All of the teachers and staff are excellent and always willing to go the extra mile to help the children. I have nothing bad to say about the school at all.
