Summary

Dublin Elementary is a PK-5 public school in Dublin, Virginia, serving 411 students as part of Pulaski County Public Schools. For 2025-2026, the school ranks 553rd out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools — the 50th percentile with a 3-star rating — a solid rebound from the 37th percentile it held in 2022-2023. In the local area, Dublin sits right in the middle of the pack: above Pulaski Elementary and Belview Elementary, roughly level with Critzer Elementary and Riverlawn Elementary, and below Snowville Elementary and Auburn Elementary. The school's best historical performance came in 2016-2017, when it ranked in the 77th percentile.

Fifth grade is Dublin's clear bright spot. In 2025-2026, 5th graders posted an 81.63% proficiency rate in math and 84% in reading — both above district and state averages, with reading the highest among nearby elementary schools. The school also shows genuine strength with students from low-income families, ranking in the 69th percentile statewide for that subgroup, well above the school's overall 50th percentile. Attendance improvements are just as striking: chronic absenteeism has fallen from 21.5% in 2022-2023 to just 6.1% in 2024-2025, far better than the district and state rate of 14.8% and better than most comparable area schools.

The biggest opportunity lies in 4th grade, where math (67.65% proficient) and Virginia Studies (63.77% proficient) trail district and state averages. Nearby Snowville Elementary posts considerably stronger 4th grade results, suggesting a grade-specific gap worth targeted attention. Performance also varies across student groups — girls currently outperform boys, and low-income students outperform the school's overall ranking — patterns that may point to uneven instructional or support strategies. Positively, per-pupil spending has risen from $7,593 to $9,795 over four years while class sizes held steady near 13 students per teacher, indicating added investment in instruction and support. With attendance momentum and proven 5th grade success, Dublin has a realistic path back to the top-quartile standing it achieved a decade ago.

My son has attended this school for 4 years since 2nd grade, he is now in 5th grade, the teachers and principle are very friendly. I have no complaints as my son has done very well at this school. Close Quote

As a parent of a first grader, three former students in the 80's, and a student myself in the 60's, I can say that this is one of the best schools I have had the pleasure to attend.

When my six year old child came of age to attend school, my choice of schools for him to attend was Dublin Elementary, because the best, qualified teachers, caring principals, and staff. He has been attending Dublin Elementary for his second year, and has came a long way from what was originally expected. The successful placement of Daniel with Ms. Heather Souder and special Education Instructor, Emily Bowling Cox was the best placement that could ever happen to Daniel in his first year at Dublin.

His ability to succeed in a regular classroom stemmed from their dedication, hard work, and caring nature to supply him with all the tools to excel. The principal, Mike Perry has the ability to talk to the children when they need counseling over misbehavior and loving nature, makes him a successful principal and friend to the students and parents.
