Each level is scored on its own scale — elementary, middle, and high are never ranked against each other.

Stage 1 of 3

The elementary years

The elementary schools average 71.5/100 — 32.6 points above the state average, with 8 of 8 in the Strong band.

0100
Strong Solid Developing Needs Support district avg state avg

32 points separate the strongest and weakest of these 8 elementary schools — the average hides more than it tells.

The strength

Harold William Kolb (88/100) holds the Strong band — 64.9% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 55.4%. 1 school classifies as Strong All-Around — no weak dimension we measure.

The catch

32 points separate the top and bottom elementary schools — the district average won't predict the school in front of you.

Eleanor Murray Fallon (78/100) holds the Strong band — 52.9% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 43.1%.

Stage 3 of 3

The high school years

One school defines the top: Dublin High sits 56 points clear of the field — the other 1 high schools are a different conversation.

0100

56 points separate the strongest and weakest of these 2 high schools — the average hides more than it tells.

1 continuation/alternative school not plotted — it ranks within its own class, not on this statewide axis.

The strength

Dublin High (79/100) holds the Strong band — 50.5% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 25.2%.

The catch

37.3% of students are chronically absent (state: 23.1%) — chronic means missing 10% or more of the school year. Whatever the scores say, ask each school what it is doing about attendance.

What it means for your family

If you're choosing a neighborhood

Compare schools at your child’s level before deciding on an address. The strongest attendance-zone candidate is Harold William Kolb at 88/100 — confirm the exact boundary with the district before the house.

If you already live here

No charters or magnets among the ranked schools here, so the main lever is an intra-district transfer — California districts run them on their own windows and criteria. If your zoned school sits low in the appendix below, ask the district office for this year's dates.

If your kid is enrolled now

A band is a position, not a prophecy — a school's number can move without your kid's experience moving with it. Ask your school two questions: what happens for a kid who arrives behind, and what the classroom looks like for one who arrives ahead.

Top scorers at each level — not necessarily one zoned sequence. Confirm feeder patterns and enrollment zones with the district, and visit before you decide.

What this page can't see: whether a campus feels safe and glad at 8 a.m. If a path above looks workable, the next step is a visit.

Frequently asked questions

How many schools are listed in Dublin Unified?
This SchoolScope directory lists 12 public schools in Dublin Unified with 2024–25 reporting records. This is directory coverage, not a complete campus inventory. Each school appears under its primary reporting level; a K–8 or K–12 campus may serve additional grades.
Which schools have the highest scores in Dublin Unified?
Among comprehensive public schools listed here, the highest Scope Score at each primary reporting level is: Elementary: Harold William Kolb (88/100). Middle: Eleanor Murray Fallon (78/100). High: Dublin High (79/100). These are separate level rankings, not a single cross-level league table. A score does not establish fit or enrollment eligibility. See the methodology.
Can I compare elementary, middle, and high schools directly?
Compare schools at the same level and within the same enrollment group. Scope Score formulas and available measures differ by level. The plots show comprehensive public schools separately for each level; individual profiles explain their comparison group.
Does living in Dublin Unified guarantee a particular school?
A district outline does not establish assignment to an individual school. Attendance boundaries, programs, permits, and available space can affect enrollment. Confirm the requirements directly with the district.
What does a SchoolScope pattern mean?
Archetypes summarize patterns in publicly reported academic and school-climate measures. They describe reported results, not a school’s quality or a child’s fit. Open the school profile for reporting years, missing measures, and questions to ask. Read how the patterns are defined.
Where do these results come from?
The underlying public data comes from the California Department of Education, including CAASPP reporting for 2024–25. Scope Scores and archetypes are SchoolScope calculations, not official CDE ratings. View CDE data and SchoolScope’s methodology and limitations.
