Summary

Rockwell School is a K–5 elementary school serving 260 students in Bristol, in the Bristol Warren district. Its 2025–26 results are above state and district averages in English language arts (ELA), math, and science. The most important concern is the sharp recent drop in math: proficiency fell 16 points in one year, to 49%.

Science is the school’s clearest strength: 62% of students were proficient, compared with 31% statewide and 55% in the district. That result was also 24 points above the average for nearby K–5 schools. Math and ELA results were more mixed against nearby schools: Rockwell was second among the four nearby K–5 peers in both subjects, but its math score was 3 points below the average across all nearby schools reporting results, and its ELA score was 5 points below that broader average. Fourth grade is a particular weak spot: math proficiency was 36%, just 1 point above the state and 3 points below the district; fourth-grade ELA was 45%, below the district’s 50%.

Over four years, ELA proficiency fell 10 points, while science stayed broadly steady, rising by 1 point. Math fell 18 points overall, including the latest 16-point drop, although its current result remains 17 points above the state and 6 points above the district. SchoolDigger ranks the school 30th of 163 statewide, at the 82nd percentile with 4 stars; its percentile was 99 in 2018–19. The school’s student–teacher ratio is 17.3, the highest among nearby schools with reported ratios, while its free/reduced-lunch rate is 18%, below the nearby average of 30%. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for Special Education Students fell from 98 to 82, matching the school’s overall percentile; for Low Socio Economic Status Students, it rose from 63 to 73.
