Bristol Borough School District

The Bristol Borough School District in Pennsylvania consists of three schools: Warren Snyder-John Girotti Elementary School, Bristol High School, and Bristol Middle School. The district serves a diverse student population, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-need community.

Among the three schools, Warren Snyder-John Girotti Elementary School stands out as the largest and highest-performing, with generally higher PSSA proficiency rates in math and English language arts compared to the district and state averages. In contrast, Bristol High School struggles with low Keystone Exam proficiency rates and has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania high schools, despite maintaining a relatively high graduation rate.

The data also reveals racial disparities in student performance, with white students generally outperforming their African American and Hispanic peers on assessments. Additionally, the high poverty levels across the district, with up to 78.28% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contribute to the academic challenges faced by the schools. By addressing these issues and leveraging the strengths of the higher-performing schools, the Bristol Borough School District can work towards improving educational outcomes for all its students.
