Dublin Int, Dublin TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Dublin Int

Dublin Intermediate serves grades four through six in a small public school system in rural Erath County, Texas. The school draws about a quarter-thousand students across three grade levels, with a student body that is roughly evenly split between Hispanic and White enrollment. A substantial share of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting the economic character of the community.

The 2024-25 STAAR results show a mixed performance picture. In English language arts, the school shows clearer strength, particularly in sixth grade where proficiency runs well above the middle range. Fifth-grade ELA results are also solid. Fourth-grade ELA performance is more modest. In mathematics, the trend runs the opposite direction: fourth grade proficiency is below the middle of the county band, while sixth grade holds closer to the middle. Fifth-grade math results are constrained by a very small tested sample. Overall proficiency across all tested subjects and grades places the school in the top quartile among Erath County districts, a meaningful position.

On the state assessment's achievement bands, most students reach the "approaches" level across subjects, indicating foundational grasp. The share meeting or exceeding the "meets" standard is notably higher in ELA than in math. Master-level performance is modest in both subjects, concentrated in a small proportion of the student body. Science results are limited to fifth grade and based on a very small group.

The intermediate school sits on a campus separate from the elementary and high school buildings. Dublin itself is a heritage-rooted small city in southwestern Erath County with a functional downtown and an economy centered on agriculture, particularly dairy. The community moves at a deliberate pace; housing is affordable, and most residents own their homes. The local school district operates three separate campuses rather than combined or career-pathway buildings, reflecting the rural district structure.

A parent considering this school may want to look into current trends in math proficiency and whether targeted intervention or support is underway, particularly at the elementary-to-intermediate transition. The strength in ELA, especially at the upper end of the intermediate grades, suggests that reading and writing are areas where students can build momentum as they move toward high school.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
