Probably depends upon which part of Dublin. If you're in East Dublin, it is mainly Asian and I believe the schools would be on par. In the older part of Dublin, its more of a mix. Schools would still be decent to good, but not great. Same goes for the high school, as there is only one in all of Dublin. However, even this has improved dramatically over the past few years.

I don't think you'll get a bad educational experience anywhere in Dublin. It just won't be exemplary schools throughout, as you'd find in San Ramon, Danville or Pleasanton.

My thought is that within a few years, Dublin schools will be on par with neighboring cities. The reasons are East Dublin mainly Asians which is already on par with San Ramon and Pleasanton and the West has a new big community (Schaefer Ranch) which brings in the more affluent people which in turns will boost up Dublin schools on the West side. Just my thought.

It's quite possible that the Dublin school district will reach Exemplary status if Dublin does the right thing to ensure that the schools have a suitable funding source over the long term either via sales or parcel taxes.

Schaefer ranch will bring some newer schools to West Dublin, and may improve the middle school/high school situation which is the weak point of the area at the moment.

They still have a lot of ground to catch up to Pleasanton, San Ramon, and Danville, as these areas are well established.

I think this is a bet that many people (including Asians are you mentioned) are making because the home prices in Dublin have skyrocketed over the last two years.

I think you are right Maverick1337. I know someone moved from Windermere down to Dublin and anticipate the schools will be much better in a few years.

If schools are your concern why move to CA? US News school rankings just came out. Just a few CA schools are highly ranked nationally. If you like 28+ kids per class, then CA is your place to be in any district. Move to MASS, where you'll get student/teach ratios of 16 or less.

I believe they will be. It wouldn't bother me to put kids in the Dublin schools, they aren't that much different now. Most differences are going to with the kids/family anyway. I've told many people over the years that getting their kid into "the best" school in in town isn't going to make them any smarter than they would have been going to any local school (many parents in Pleasanton were hyper focused on one elementary school being better than another for example...weird). Other things may matter, like the music or sports program or specific areas where violence is more pronounced, but as far as your kid turning out better, nope.
