Bristol School District

The Bristol School District in Connecticut consists of 12 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 3 high schools, serving a diverse student population across the district.

Among the standout schools in the district, Ivy Drive School consistently performs well, ranking in the top 40% of Connecticut elementary schools and earning 4 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. Northeast Middle School also ranks in the top 40% of Connecticut middle schools and earns 3 out of 5 stars, while Bristol Eastern High School ranks in the top 50% of Connecticut high schools and earns 3 out of 5 stars. These schools demonstrate higher proficiency rates in core subjects compared to the district and state averages.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the schools in the Bristol School District. Schools with higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as Ellen P. Hubbell School and West Bristol School, tend to have lower proficiency rates on standardized tests. The variation in spending per student across the schools may also contribute to these disparities, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and equitable resource allocation to ensure all students in the Bristol School District have access to high-quality education.
