In contrast, Dublin Primary's 3rd-5th grade proficiency rates on end-of-grade exams range from 35.1% to 60%, generally below the district and state benchmarks.

The stark contrast in academic performance between the two schools may be attributed to factors such as higher per-student spending ($17,774 at Bladen Early College vs. $11,628 at Dublin Primary) and a larger student-teacher ratio (21:1 vs. 15.9:1). Additionally, Bladen Early College serves a higher percentage of white students compared to Dublin Primary, which could be an area for further investigation.
