District-Level NCES Analysis
Dublin City operates 5 public schools serving 2,288 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Georgia. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 combined, 1 elementary, 1 high schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Laurens County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $17,579 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 219 Georgia districts by per-pupil spending. See how Georgia compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 37.2% local, 29.2% state, and 33.6% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 67/100, ranked #57 of 216 in Georgia against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 508:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 45.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 86.4% African American, 7.6% White, 2.4% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Hillcrest Elementary, with a diversity index of 30.4/100.
Its largest campus is Dublin Middle School, enrolling 634 students (27% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Moore Street Facility, at 40 students, a 16x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Dublin Middle School accounts for 26.8% of all Dublin City student enrollment
That concentration means Dublin City-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: elementary. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.
Dublin City school enrollment varies 16× across entities
Dublin City school enrollment ranges from 40 students (lowest) to 634 students (highest), a spread of 594 students. That spread reflects typical mixed-portfolio variation between specialty programs and large neighbourhood schools. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
The reported share is above 87.5%, so economic need is widespread across the measured student population. Title I operates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), but its statutory allocation uses additional LEA-level counts and rules not represented by this average. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.
Dublin City student-counselor ratio is 508:1 — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
Dublin City chronic absenteeism rate is 45.6% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
Dublin City has 5 schools, including 1 elementary, 1 high, 3 combined. Total enrollment is 2,288 students.
