Alice Costello Elementary School

What Alice Costello Elementary School does

Alice Costello Elementary School (ACES) is a public PK-8 elementary school operated by the Brooklawn Public Schools district, located at 301 Haakon Road in Brooklawn, Camden County, New Jersey. The school serves approximately 300 students across Pre-Kindergarten through 8th grade with a teaching staff of roughly 30 educators and offers five athletic teams. Its core educational programs include standard K-8 academics, a Pre-Kindergarten program, a Gifted and Talented track, ACES Counseling services for academic and social-emotional support, library services, athletics, and a Community Service Club.

The school's technology infrastructure consists of standard off-the-shelf educational platforms: Genesis for student information and parent communication, Follett Destiny for library management, and Google Workspace for Education for classroom productivity. No proprietary technology or AI/ML capabilities are in evidence. The institution does not develop or commercialize products in the conventional sense; rather, it delivers educational services funded through public channels.

Revenue (more precisely, operating funding) is provided through the Brooklawn Board of Education, sourced from New Jersey state aid, local property taxes, and federal grants including Title I. There is no tuition for district-resident students; out-of-district families may enroll through New Jersey's School Choice program. Governance is provided by a seven-member Board of Education with Samuel Dutkin serving as Business Administrator/Board Secretary. A new construction project announced in March 2026 signals facility expansion, and Pre-K registration for the 2026-27 school year opened the same month.
