Summary

Dublin Primary is an elementary school in Dublin, North Carolina, serving 253 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Bladen County Schools district, which is ranked 211 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dublin Primary's student performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state tests, is generally below the state and district averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in mathematics and reading for 3rd-5th grades ranged from 25% to 63.3%, compared to the state averages of 46.7% to 64.1% in mathematics and 46.7% to 52.9% in reading. The school also has a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with around 98-99% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the state and district averages. Additionally, Dublin Primary has a relatively high proportion of English Language Learner (ELL) students, with their performance ranking ranging from 106 to 228 out of around 400-500 North Carolina elementary schools in recent years.

The challenges faced by Dublin Primary appear to be systemic within the Bladen County Schools district, as nearby schools like Bladenboro Primary, Bladen Lakes Primary, and Elizabethtown Primary also have relatively low performance and high percentages of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. However, the nearby Southeastern Academy charter school has significantly higher student performance, suggesting that alternative educational models may be able to better serve the needs of students in this region.
