Summary

Ellen P. Hubbell School is a K–5 elementary school in Bristol, Connecticut, serving 331 students, and it stands out as the highest-ranked elementary school in the Bristol School District. In 2025–2026, Hubbell ranked 184th out of 491 elementary schools statewide — placing it in the 63rd percentile with a 3-star rating — while the district as a whole ranks in the bottom third of Connecticut. Among nearby elementary schools, Hubbell is the clear leader, outpacing Greene-Hills School, South Side School, Stafford School, Mountain View School, West Bristol School, and Ivy Drive School by a wide margin. Only R. E. Thalberg Elementary School ranks higher nearby, but it serves a wealthier population — making Hubbell's results all the more impressive.

Academically, Hubbell exceeds the Connecticut state average in every reported subject. For example, 64.3% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA versus 44.7% district-wide, and 65.0% of 4th graders were proficient in math versus 43.4% district-wide. What makes this especially notable is that 64.65% of Hubbell students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's low-income students ranked 4th out of 69 schools statewide in 2025–2026, and special education students ranked in the 86th percentile in 2020–2021 — strong evidence that Hubbell is effectively serving students who often face the greatest barriers. A student-to-teacher ratio of 11.3, lower than most Bristol peers, may also support these strong outcomes.

The main concerns are rising chronic absenteeism, which reached 18.6% in 2025–2026 (above the state average of 16.4%), and a gender gap — girls ranked in the 64th percentile in 2025–2026 while boys ranked in the 49th. Still, for families in Bristol, Ellen P. Hubbell School remains a compelling choice: a proven bright spot in a district that is otherwise struggling, with a track record of above-state-average results despite significant economic challenges.
