As the ninth-largest district in the state, DCS serves more than 17,000 students annually, supported by over 2,500 dedicated staff members.

Spanning 47 square miles, the Dublin City School District extends beyond the City of Dublin, encompassing parts of Columbus, Hilliard, and Upper Arlington while also reaching into Franklin, Delaware, and Union counties. This rapidly expanding district is projected to grow through 2032. With a student body that represents more than 100 countries and speaks over 70 different languages, Dublin City Schools reflects the increasing cultural diversity of the region. 

 

Dublin City Schools consistently ranks among the highest-achieving districts in Central Ohio. According to the Ohio School Report Card, DCS has earned five-star ratings in Progress, Gap Closing, and Graduation, along with four stars in Achievement. Additionally, all three high schools—Dublin Coffman, Dublin Jerome, and Dublin Scioto—are ranked among the top 25 in the state of Ohio.
