Most rating sites would stop at “76% proficient” and call it done. Dublin deserves a closer read. It sits at the 95th percentile of 5,744 California elementary schools — but the ranking is the least interesting thing on this page.

Dublin's low-income kids hit 60.3% proficiency in ELA — a number the same group reaches at 38.2% statewide. If you're trying to read past zip-code-driven test scores, that's the signal worth weighing.

What are Dublin Elementary's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 76.0% of students at Dublin Elementary met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 52.5% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 23.5% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 52.5% pushed past it. Most rating sites report only the combined "proficient" number.

How does Dublin Elementary rank in California?
Dublin Elementary ranks #316 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 95th percentile. This ranking is based on a weighted composite of 2025 CAASPP test performance (exceeded and met rates), grade-level growth (Grade 3 to grade 5 growth), chronic absenteeism, and suspension rate. Unlike single-number ratings, the Scope Score shows what drives the ranking so parents can decide what matters most to their family. See full methodology.
Is Dublin Elementary getting better or worse?
Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Dublin Elementary increases by 1.6 percentage points from Grade 3 to grade 5 growth.

SchoolScope includes these culture metrics in the Scope Score because they reflect day-to-day school experience in ways test scores alone cannot.
