Dublin Elementary's test scores reveal clear strengths in upper elementary. In the most recent year, 5th graders surpassed both district and state averages in every subject: mathematics proficiency hit 81.63% (vs. 72.39% statewide), reading hit 84.00% (vs. 72.42% statewide), and science reached 78.00% (vs. 68.75% statewide). These marks reflect impressive year-over-year gains of 10 to 14 points in each subject. Third grade is also solid, with math (75.00%) and reading (70.00%) both above state averages. The main concern is 4th grade: mathematics proficiency is 67.65% (vs. 73.29% statewide) and Virginia Studies is just 63.77% (vs. 70.52% statewide), the school's biggest deficit. Fourth-grade reading is essentially tied with the state at 73.91%.
After dipping to a 2-star rating in 2024–2025, Dublin Elementary rebounded to a 3-star rating in 2025–2026, ranking 553rd out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools (50th percentile). Chronic absenteeism is a major bright spot: just 6.1% of students were chronically absent, less than half the 14.8% rate seen districtwide and statewide. The school also has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.9:1 and spends $9,795 per student. For parents, this suggests a stable, welcoming environment where students attend regularly and upper-elementary academics are strong. The key area to watch is 4th grade, particularly mathematics and Virginia Studies, where targeted support could help the school climb further.
