Summary:
Bristol Borough School District has only one middle school, Bristol Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania middle schools and has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three school years, indicating significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
Bristol Middle School's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates in PSSA tests falling well below the state and district averages in Math, Science, and English Language Arts. The school's dropout rate of 1.6% in the 2022-2023 school year is also noteworthy. Additionally, the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 78.28% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the school.
While the school's spending per student ($8,564) and student-teacher ratio (13.2) are within typical ranges, it's unclear if these resources are being effectively utilized to support student learning and improve academic outcomes. The data suggests that Bristol Borough School District and Bristol Middle School may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the school's consistently low performance and academic underachievement, particularly for its economically disadvantaged student population.
