Kolb Elementary School
George Kolb came to America in 1866 from Bavaria. He made his way west and purchased Dublin’s General Store in 1894, establishing himself in the community. The newest school Dublin Ranch is an elementary school that celebrates his legacy — Kolb Elementary School.
Slowed housing starts caused the opening of this school to be delayed, but it was built with funds contributed from the Recovery and Reinvestment Act and “opened for learning” for the 2011-2012 school year. Today, it is a beautiful facility and a great asset for our community.
Fallon Middle School
The Eleanor Murry Fallon School was designed by DLM Architects and was a fantastic addition to their portfolio. Construction began in Spring of 2003; the school was occupied for the first time in Fall of 2005 and cost approximately $30,000,000 to build.
The design of the campus centers classroom clusters around a central courtyard, creating small villages and reducing the scale of the larger school. Fallon started as a Middle School, and then took on Elementary students in 2008 as a temporary solution until Kolb Elementary was completed for Fall 2011. With the completion of Kolb Elementary, if you live in Dublin Ranch your children will likely attend Fallon Middle School.
Green Elementary School
One of the first schools built for the Dublin Ranch Community, Green Elementary School has established itself with a fantastic reputation for excellence in the Tri-Valley Community.
The Mission Statement of Green Elementary School says it all, “KIDS FIRST — Each and Every Day, we’re committed to a promise to learn, the courage to lead and support to excel.” If your children are fortunate to go to Green Elementary School, they will enjoy a wonderful learning environment along with healthy breakfast and lunch options.
Dublin High School
Many families move to the Tri-Valley Community because they know the school districts are excellent. The children living in Dublin Ranch enjoy that reputation at Dublin High School. Dublin High School has been celebrated as a California Distinguished School in 1990,1992, 1996 and 2003. It is also the only high school in Dublin that is a comprehensive high school.
Dublin High School has enjoyed a great deal of renovation over the last few years. The four-phase, multi-million dollar construction project is detailed here.
Springfield Montessori School
Parents who subscribe to the Montessori method of learning for preschool and kindergarten, Dublin Ranch residents have that option as well.
