Costner Elementary

Summary:

Costner Elementary is a public elementary school in Dallas, North Carolina, serving 485 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Gaston County Schools district, which is ranked 158 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Costner Elementary has a higher percentage of White students (61.65%) compared to nearby schools like Woodhill Elementary, which has a majority African American and Hispanic student population. Academically, Costner's performance on EOG tests is generally lower than the district and state averages, though it outperforms in 5th-grade science. The school's performance also varies significantly across student subgroups, with strong results for African American students but lower ratings for Hispanic and White students. Additionally, Costner has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 38.17% to 62.68%, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

Costner Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the past several years, from 571 out of 1,390 North Carolina elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 1,071 out of 1,505 in 2023-2024. This suggests the school's performance has not kept pace with the state's overall improvement. When compared to nearby schools, Costner generally performs better than lower-ranked schools like Edward D. Sadler Junior Elementary, but lags behind higher-performing schools like Pleasant Ridge Elementary. To address these challenges, the school and Gaston County Schools may need to implement targeted interventions and explore strategies to support the diverse needs of Costner's student population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
