Summary

Bristol Elementary is a PK–8 public elementary and middle school in Bristol, Wisconsin, serving about 830 students as part of the Bristol #1 School District, which ranks 67th of 432 districts in the state.

Bristol Elementary is one of the strongest schools in its area. In 2025–2026 it ranked 279th of 1,039 Wisconsin schools — the 73rd percentile, with 4 stars — after ranking 66th percentile in 2024–2025 and 62nd in 2023–2024. That upward trend stands out because some nearby schools moved the other way, including Brighton Elementary (90th to 52nd percentile) and Salem Elementary (63rd to 42nd). Math is a particular strength: Bristol's simple average math proficiency in grades 3–8 is 68.3%, versus 53.7% statewide and higher than every nearby school in this comparison, including Union Grove Elementary (67.0%). The upper middle grades shine, with 8th grade at 79.25% in ELA, 79.25% in math, 80.19% in social studies, and 72.64% in science — all well above state averages. Union Grove Elementary is Bristol's closest peer overall, also at the 73rd percentile, but Bristol leads in math generally and in 5th, 6th, and 8th grade ELA and math.

Chronic absenteeism is a major differentiator: 6.2% at Bristol versus 17.3% statewide, and far below Kenosha School of Language (KSOL) at 21.8% and Nash Elementary at 15.6%. Free/reduced lunch participation is 18.31%, low for the area, while per-student spending ($13,449) and the student-teacher ratio (15.1) are mid-range — several nearby schools spend more or have smaller classes yet post lower results. Relative effectiveness is very high for English Language Learner students (89th percentile) and solid for low-income students (64th, up from 39th), while special education results (43rd percentile) trail the school's overall rank.
