Summary

Bristol Elementary is a public school serving grades PK-8 in Bristol, Wisconsin, part of the Bristol #1 School District. With a strong academic reputation, Bristol Elementary consistently outperforms the state average in student proficiency across various subjects and grade levels.

The school's performance is particularly impressive in the upper grades, with 7th and 8th-grade students scoring well above the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. Bristol Elementary also stands out for its exceptional results among Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students, who rank among the top in the state. Additionally, the school maintains relatively low chronic absenteeism and dropout rates, and spends more per student while maintaining a lower student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools.

While Bristol Elementary's overall ranking has declined in recent years, it remains a top-performing institution in the region. In contrast, schools in the Kenosha School District generally perform below the state averages, while schools in higher-performing districts like Union Grove J1, Brighton #1, and Paris J1 tend to outperform the state. Bristol Elementary's strong academic results, coupled with its commitment to equity and inclusion, make it a standout school in the region.
