Summary

Northeast Middle School, part of the Bristol School District in Bristol, CT, serves 324 students in grades 6-8 and has earned a solid 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking 108th out of 258 Connecticut middle schools. The school has remained remarkably consistent over the past decade, hovering between the 57th and 64th percentiles statewide, despite serving a population where about half of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Northeast stands out for getting strong results with the resources it has. It significantly outperforms Chippens Hill Middle School, the other Bristol middle school, in every subject — with 7th grade ELA proficiency at 62.4% versus 45.9% at Chippens Hill — while spending less per student ($15,682 vs. $16,555). The school also does exceptional work with student groups that often struggle statewide, ranking in the 69th percentile for Hispanic students and the 70th percentile for low-income students. ELA and Science scores generally meet or beat state averages, and students who stay through 8th grade show strong math gains.

The biggest challenges are math and attendance. Middle School of Plainville, which has nearly identical demographics just 2.3 miles away, outperforms Northeast in math at every grade level — for example, 63.9% vs. 45.5% in 8th grade math. Chronic absenteeism has also climbed sharply, from 11.9% in 2023-2024 to 19.6% in 2025-2026, triple the rate at nearby Har-Bur Middle School. Meanwhile, affluent neighbors like Avon Middle School and Irving A. Robbins Middle School remain far ahead in all subjects. If Northeast can reverse the attendance trend and shore up its math pipeline, it has real potential to move from a solid mid-tier school to a consistently high-ranking one.
