Summary

Ivy Drive School is an elementary school located in Bristol, Connecticut, serving 372 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Bristol School District, which is ranked 102 out of 156 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of Ivy Drive School's key strengths is its consistent academic performance, with students consistently outperforming their peers at the district and state levels in subjects like ELA and Math. For example, in 2024-2025, Ivy Drive School's 3rd-grade students scored 60.9% proficient or better in ELA and Math, compared to 48.3% and 46% for the district, and 46.9% and 52.2% for the state, respectively. Additionally, the school has been able to effectively support its high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds, ranking 3rd out of 72 Connecticut elementary schools in 2022-2023 for the performance of its low-income students.

However, Ivy Drive School has experienced higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state average, ranging from 5.9% to 20% in recent years. This is an area of concern that the school and district should address. When compared to other elementary schools in the Bristol School District and nearby districts, Ivy Drive School generally outperforms its peers in academic proficiency, particularly in ELA and Math, suggesting the school may have effective instructional practices and a strong focus on student achievement that could be shared with other schools in the area.
