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.

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.

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.
