Bristol Arts and Innovation Magnet School

Summary:

Bristol Arts and Innovation Magnet School is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in Bristol, Connecticut, which is part of the Bristol School District. The school has a diverse student population, with a mix of racial backgrounds and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

One of the key strengths of Bristol Arts and Innovation Magnet School is its academic performance. The school consistently outperforms the Bristol School District and the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 57.5% of 7th graders at the school were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 50.1% for the district and 49.5% for the state. This suggests the school may have effective teaching practices and curriculum that benefit its students.

Another notable aspect of the school is its smaller class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 10.1, compared to 13.3 at Bristol Central High School and 11.1 at Bristol Eastern High School. This lower student-teacher ratio could contribute to the school's stronger academic performance, as smaller class sizes often allow for more personalized attention and support for students. Additionally, the school's diverse student population could provide valuable learning experiences and cultural exchange opportunities for the students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
