New Family Info
Welcome to Dublin City Schools! This page is designed to help families who are new to our district or considering a move to the area.
Here, you'll find essential information about enrollment, school assignments, academic programs, and resources to ensure a smooth transition for your student.
Residency Verification
Our district does not accept open enrollment, so it is essential to verify that your address falls within the Dublin City School district boundaries. Additionally, students attend the school assigned to their residence; options to attend another school within the district are very limited due to capacity. To view our district and school boundaries, visit check out our District Maps. To search by address, use our SchoolSearch tool.
School Tours
In alignment with our commitment to student well-being, safety, and privacy, we do not offer tours to families who are exploring educational options for their children. At the start of each school year, buildings host orientations and/or "Meet the Teacher" events to help children become familiar with the building. Detailed information about these events will be provided to you at the time of enrollment. For students enrolling after the start of the school year, the school will contact you to review important information once your child is fully enrolled and scheduled to start their first day. Any questions regarding your child’s transition will be addressed at that time.
Academics
Dublin City Schools offers an expansive array of academic opportunities designed to support, challenge, and inspire every student. With a robust secondary course catalog featuring more than 250 options, students can tailor their education to match their interests and aspirations. From gifted education and English Learner services to Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) programs, we provide pathways for students to excel at the highest levels. Our career pathways courses at Emerald Campus further prepare students for success beyond the classroom. School counselors will meet with students and discuss course scheduling options after their enrollment in the district is complete.
Special Education
Dublin City Schools is committed to meeting the needs of all students. If your child has an Individualized Education Plan (IEP), a 504 Plan, or requires specialized support, our Student Services team is here to help with a smooth transition. Students must be enrolled before the team can discuss their needs.
Transportation
Dublin City Schools provides transportation for students who meet the eligibility requirements. To determine if your child qualifies for bus transportation and to view non-transport zones, please visit our Transportation page.
