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.
