I regret to say that our experience at Dublin Elementary School has been immensely frustrating, particularly given my child’s health challenges. If you have a child with any illnesses, I strongly advise against enrolling them in this school.From the outset, the administration has displayed a serious lack of understanding and compassion regarding students with medical issues. I am feeling forced to do a home bound solution because I'm still getting letters this year only after my child exceeded five absences due to illness, despite having multiple doctor’s notes, so it won't matter if you have a note they will hold it against you. We began receiving letters threatening implications for attendance. It was disheartening to see that the school's focus seemed to be on penalties rather than supporting my child’s well-being. The insistence on enforcing their attendance policy, regardless of medical documentation, shows a complete disregard for the health needs of students.Furthermore, instead of working with us to find a reasonable solution, communication from the school was bureaucratic and unhelpful. There was little effort made to understand our situation, which left us feeling isolated and unsupported. Rather than fostering an inclusive environment, it felt as if the school prioritized policies over the health and needs of the students.This is especially concerning for a child who may need more support due to health issues. My child has struggled to keep pace, and any hope of personalized assistance has been dashed by the school’s rigid policies.In summary, if your child has any health concerns, I strongly recommend exploring other educational options. The lack of compassion and understanding at Dublin Elementary has made our experience not just frustrating, but also detrimental to my child’s emotional and academic wellbeing. It’s disheartening to see a school that fails to prioritize the needs of its students, and I hope this review serves as a caution to other parents.

Amazing principal and a great school. Principal knows everyone's name and is personal towards all kids and you can tell he cares about the school and his students. Teachers are really willing to help and students look forward to go to school.

Very welcoming family oriented school.. The teachers really care about their students and what friendships they form as well as what they learn.

My son attends the pre-school program and loves it. The teachers are very nice and from what I hear from other parents this is a wonderful school all around. I can't wait until he starts kindergarten.

Great School! There is a lot of after school activities that build friendship bonds and creates new ones outside of the school walls such as Rollerskating, movie night, and field trips. Heavy parent involvement combined with caring staff make this a top notch school. Thumbs up!

The school's teachers are top notch, the principal on thr other hand, should not be in an elementary school. He us very vocal about not liking parents and does everything to limit the ability for parents being involved. If there us an activity that he has not yet cancelled, itis scheduled at the most inconvenient times for working parents to attend. This you see, limits the number of parents who will be present. When he came to our building two years ago we were told our traditions would not change but little by little Dublin is becoming a new school, in a negative way. The principal says we are a community yet the irony is, thr last time Dublin was truly a community was when the old principal was forced to retire so the current principal was not displaced when his former building closed. It's time for a new leader at Dublin!
