Summary:
The city of Bristol, Pennsylvania is home to 3 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Bristol Borough School District. While the schools face some academic challenges, the Warren Snyder-John Girotti Elementary School stands out as the strongest performer, with high proficiency rates in science and math. In contrast, the Bristol High School and Bristol Middle School face more significant academic challenges, with test scores generally underperforming state averages.
The data reveals that the schools in the Bristol Borough School District serve a student population facing significant economic challenges, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across all 3 schools. This may contribute to the academic underperformance observed, particularly at the middle and high school levels. Additionally, the differences in per-student spending between the schools suggest potential funding disparities within the district that could impact educational resources and outcomes.
Despite the academic hurdles, the schools maintain relatively low dropout rates, indicating that students are staying engaged. However, the substantial difference in enrollment between the elementary school and the middle/high schools warrants further investigation into potential enrollment trends and factors affecting student retention. Addressing the economic and resource disparities within the district could be key to improving overall student outcomes and ensuring equitable educational opportunities for all students in the Bristol community.
