Summary

Bristol Consolidated School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the small coastal town of Pemaquid, Maine. With 187 students, it is a relatively small school compared to nearby options, but it has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in the state, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance is truly exceptional, with students consistently outperforming state and district averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In the 2024-2025 school year, 86.51% of Bristol Consolidated students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to just 63.84% statewide and 80.14% in the Bristol Public Schools district. The school also excels in serving various student subgroups, ranking 1st out of 251 Maine elementary schools for female students, 12th out of 150 for white students, 8th out of 192 for special education students, and 12th out of 248 for low socioeconomic status students.

While Bristol Consolidated School's performance is truly impressive, it's worth noting that other nearby schools, such as Nobleboro Central School and Friendship Village School, also demonstrate strong academic results and high state rankings. This suggests a concentration of high-quality elementary education in the region. However, the school's relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.4% to 31.0%, indicate a need to further investigate and address the underlying causes to ensure all students can fully benefit from the exceptional learning environment at Bristol Consolidated School.
