Summary

Dublin Elementary in White Lake, MI, is a mid-sized PK-5 school serving 467 students within the highly-rated Walled Lake Consolidated Schools district, and it has consistently earned a 4-star rating while ranking in the 78th to 85th percentile statewide over the past decade.

One of Dublin's most impressive strengths is its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 8.0%—far better than the district average of 19.8% and the state average of 27.9%. This figure also beats nearby high-performing schools like Commerce Elementary (10.2%) and Lakewood Elementary (13.5%), suggesting strong family-school connections and engaged students. Academically, Dublin shines in 5th-grade ELA (67.5% proficient) and Science (56.6%), outperforming district averages and rivaling top peers like Gretchko Elementary. The school also achieves these results efficiently, spending $13,975 per student—less than nearby Keith Elementary ($15,159) and significantly less than schools in the Waterford School District, which spend between $17,000 and $21,000.

However, there are areas of concern. Dublin's 5th-grade math proficiency has dropped sharply from 58% in 2024-2025 to just 37.3% in 2025-2026—a full 10 points below the district average and a notable decline from the 60.8% proficiency seen just a few years earlier. This recent, sudden dip suggests a possible curriculum change or cohort-specific challenge that warrants attention. Additionally, while female students have consistently ranked in the 83rd-87th percentile, male student performance has slipped from the 78th to the 69th percentile over the same period, likely driving the school's overall state ranking decline from the 85th to the 79th percentile. Despite these challenges, Dublin's strong foundation, efficient spending, and exceptional student engagement provide a solid base for addressing these issues and maintaining its reputation as a top-tier elementary school in the area.
