Summary

Dublin Elementary is a public elementary school located in Dublin, Virginia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 414 students. The school is part of the Pulaski County Public Schools district, which is ranked 72 out of 129 school districts in Virginia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dublin Elementary consistently outperforms the Pulaski County Public Schools district and the state of Virginia in standardized test scores across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Dublin Elementary's 3rd-grade math proficiency rate was 75.36%, compared to 65.97% for the district and 72.89% for the state. Similarly, Dublin Elementary's 5th-grade science proficiency rate was 63.93%, compared to 57.78% for the district and 68.94% for the state. However, the school has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13.6% to 26.1% over the past few years, which is notably higher than the state average.

Comparing Dublin Elementary to nearby schools, Riverlawn Elementary and Snowville Elementary show similar performance trends, while Kipps Elementary, a school in the neighboring Montgomery County Public Schools district, consistently outperforms Dublin Elementary and the state in standardized test scores across all subjects and grade levels. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at Dublin Elementary, as well as the nearby Pulaski County and Radford City schools, suggests that these schools serve a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which may contribute to the relatively lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates observed in these schools.

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.
