Bristow

Four Bristow schools serve students from prekindergarten through grade 12: Edison Elementary School (PK–2), Collins Elementary School (grades 3–5), Bristow Middle School (grades 6–8), and Bristow High School (grades 9–12). Three schools have reported test results; Edison has no test-score entries. Chronic absenteeism is below the state rate at all four schools, ranging from 5% at Bristow High to 11% at Bristow Middle, compared with 16% statewide. The clearest academic finding is that Collins stands out for results above the state in every supplied grade-level comparison.

In 2025–26, Collins’s All Grades scores were 30% in ELA, 35% in math, and 52% in science—4, 10, and 22 percentage points above the state, respectively. Its grade-level results were above state figures across reported ELA and math grades, and its grade 5 science result was 17 points higher. Bristow High’s All Grades ELA score was also strong at 34%, 8 points above the state, but its grade 11 result was 2 points below the grade-matched state figure. The weakest results vary by subject: Bristow High scored 8% in math and 15% in science, 17 and 15 points below state figures; Bristow Middle was below the state in All Grades ELA and math by 4 and 7 points, while its science result matched the state.

Recent score trends split the schools: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, Bristow Middle improved by 4 points in ELA, 5 in math, and 7 in science, while Collins declined by 1, 3, and 4 points and Bristow High declined by 1, 4, and 6 points. SchoolDigger ranks Collins at the 68th percentile with 3 stars, compared with the 40th percentile and 2 stars for Bristow Middle and the 39th percentile and 2 stars for Bristow High. Other measures offer context, not an explanation for results: in 2024–25, student-teacher ratios ranged from 13.9 at Bristow Middle to 18.2 at Bristow High, and free/reduced lunch eligible rates ranged from 64% at Bristow High to 74% at Collins. Bristow High also had a 94% graduation rate in 2024–25, compared with 78% statewide.
