Summary:

Zip code 06010 in Bristol, CT, is served by 11 schools in the Bristol School District, including 7 elementary schools (two of which are K-8 schools), 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools, enrolling approximately 6,706 students in total. The district overall is ranked 109 out of 153 Connecticut districts (29th percentile, 1 star), but individual schools vary widely, from solid 3-star performers to a few that struggle.

A few schools stand out as clear bright spots. Ellen P. Hubbell School is the top-ranked elementary school in the zip code (63rd percentile), posting strong proficiency rates in 4th-grade ELA (68.3%) and math (65.0%) — well above district and state averages — despite having the highest free/reduced lunch rate in the area at 64.65%. At the middle school level, Northeast Middle School is the top performer (58th percentile), with the best ELA proficiency among middle schools and the lowest student-teacher ratio (10.5). Among high schools, Bristol Eastern High School clearly outpaces Bristol Central High School, with higher SAT proficiency in every subject and a 95.0% graduation rate. Ivy Drive School also deserves mention for having the lowest chronic absenteeism rate in the district at just 9.1%.

The biggest area-wide challenges are math proficiency and chronic absenteeism. Math scores lag state averages across nearly every grade level, with high school SAT math proficiency at just 23.8% at Bristol Central and 28.1% at Bristol Eastern. Chronic absenteeism at the secondary level runs between 19.6% and 20.8%, well above the state average of 16.4%. West Bristol School is the lowest-ranked school in the zip code (28th percentile, 1 star), with the highest chronic absenteeism (21.2%) and very weak 8th-grade math (22.4% vs. state 41.9%). Science, however, is a relative strength district-wide, with several schools exceeding state averages. Despite modest overall district rankings, families in 06010 have meaningful choices, with schools like Hubbell, Northeast, and Bristol Eastern proving that strong outcomes are achievable within the same district.
