Buying, Selling or Moving?
Always verify a home’s school assignment using official Dublin City Schools tools before making decisions based on school attendance boundaries. Third-party websites such as Zillow, Realtor.com, and other real estate services may contain outdated or incorrect school boundary information, particularly as the district transitions to new attendance boundaries for 2027-2028.
Understanding Dublin City Schools Boundaries
We receive many questions about district boundaries, and we want to be proactive in sharing how they work.
There are two different types of boundaries to understand:
- District boundary: Determines whether a residence is located within Dublin City Schools. The district's outer boundary is established through state law and does not change.
- Attendance boundaries: Determine which Dublin City Schools elementary, middle and high school serve a particular address. These boundaries may be adjusted periodically as enrollment, growth and facility needs change.
Additionally, a home's city, mailing address or ZIP code does not determine its school district. Dublin City Schools is not geographically the same as the City of Dublin. The school district extends across portions of Franklin, Delaware, and Union counties and serves families with mailing addresses in Dublin, Columbus, Plain City, Powell, Shawnee Hills, Upper Arlington, and Hilliard. In fact, only 46.2% of Dublin City Schools students live in the City of Dublin; 33.3% live in the City of Columbus. If a home is located within the Dublin City Schools district boundary, students who live at that address are Dublin City Schools students.
