Bristol Eastern High School

Just a very bad experience overall. There are no resources for kids with learning disabilities or mental health issues and the principle and vice principle are prejudice.

I'm a proud alumnus of this school from the class of 2007. Some things just don't come across in the ratings. Talents and diversity were celebrated. Teachers were casual but academically engaging and enthusiastic about their subjects. There was a focus on making us good citizens, as well as good students. Bristol's ground-breaking integration policies meant all kinds of people were loved and accepted. Being unique was an asset--not something you were bullied for. The increasingly interdisciplinary curriculum was designed to make sure we were well-rounded individuals. Everything was innovative, even the Phys. Ed. program, which was focused on life-sports rather than fitness test scores. I learned that I could be good at math. I learned how to write a solid position paper in 20 minutes or less. I learned how to write lab reports that impressed Engineering Physics TAs at UConn. I learned how to write research papers with proper style, grammar, and support. I learned competitive performing arts in their music program and public speaking skills that have helped me present papers at conferences. I learned how to interpret poetry, art, and music. I even learned CAD. It was like living 8 years in 4. If this school is anything like it was in 2007, then I can't recommend it enough.

I'm a parent of a child that goes to Eastern High Schoo were I had two children graduate from high school which both were kind of more of a teacher's pet with sports the other ones very smart I now have a student in the school and it doesn't seem like they want to help me out he was out of school for a whole week I wasn't aware of this at all never contact me tomorrow until Friday but then has the nerve to call DCF we've asked for help my sons ask for help I guess sports more important is as their education they have made my son feel unimportant to school if not making him feel wanted there they do not get.it in helping himI asking what can we do for your son and now my son is. moved back in with me there just fouseing getting him out of there school
