Dublin Primary

Summary:

Dublin Primary is an elementary school located in Dublin, North Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 227. The school is part of the Bladen County Schools district, which is ranked 185 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dublin Primary has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 37.44% White, 25.55% African American, and 30.4% Hispanic. However, the school has a very high percentage of students (over 98%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Academically, Dublin Primary's performance on state standardized tests is generally lower than the state and district averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 35.1% to 60% in mathematics and reading for grades 3-5, compared to state averages of 48.7% to 62.7% in mathematics and 48.7% to 52.8% in reading. The school's statewide ranking among North Carolina elementary schools has fluctuated, ranging from 544 out of 1,440 schools in 2014-2015 (3-star rating) to 1,050 out of 1,505 schools in 2023-2024 (2-star rating), placing it in the bottom third of elementary schools in the state.

Compared to other elementary schools in the Bladen County district, Dublin Primary generally performs below average in both mathematics and reading proficiency. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 5th-grade mathematics proficiency rate of 60% was higher than the district average of 44%, but lower than the state average of 58.1%. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, coupled with the school's lower academic performance, suggests that Dublin Primary may face significant challenges in addressing the educational needs of its diverse student population, requiring additional resources, targeted interventions, and a focus on addressing the root causes of the achievement gaps.

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.

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.
