Bristol

The schools in Bristol, Tennessee include 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools, serving students from kindergarten through 12th grade. The district is home to several standout institutions, including Holston View Elementary, which consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, and Tennessee Online Public School, a virtual high school that also performs exceptionally well.

Holston View Elementary stands out with its exceptional test scores, with over 60% of students proficient or better in mathematics, English language arts, and science across all grades. The district's two virtual schools, Tennessee Online Public School and Tennessee Online Public School at Bristol, have unique performance profiles, with the former performing well on high school assessments and the latter lagging behind the district and state averages in elementary-level subjects.

While the schools in Bristol have a predominantly white student population, there is a notable gap in performance between the highest-performing and lowest-performing schools, particularly in mathematics and English language arts. This suggests potential opportunities for improvement and resource allocation to support struggling schools. The district's spending per student also varies significantly, with some schools spending nearly $4,000 more per student than others, which may be a factor in their performance differences.
