Summary

Bristol High School is a public high school located in Bristol, Pennsylvania, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 326 students. The school is part of the Bristol Borough School District, which is ranked 428 out of 606 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bristol High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania high schools, with its ranking ranging from 469 out of 681 schools in 2024-2025 to 601 out of 680 schools in 2014-2015. This places it in the bottom 30% of high schools in the state. The school's four-year graduation rate has been around 81-88% in recent years, which is lower than the state average and the graduation rates of many nearby high schools like Neshaminy High School and Pennsbury High School. Additionally, Bristol High School's dropout rate has ranged from 0.9% to 1.8% in recent years, which is higher than the state average and the dropout rates of nearby high schools.

Bristol High School students consistently score below the state average on Keystone Exams in Algebra I, Biology, and Literature. For example, in 2024-2025, only 33.8% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in Algebra I and Biology, compared to the state averages of 44.3% and 49.3%, respectively. The school also has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 66.28% to 74.54% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby high schools. These factors suggest that Bristol High School faces significant challenges in terms of resources, funding, and support for its students, which may be contributing to the school's underperformance on various metrics.
