Bristol Elementary School

Bristol School consistently impresses me. Both of my young children love going here, they are thriving in their educational pursuits at Bristol. Every teacher that my daughters have had, have always been very kind, professional and hold high expectations for them. Parent and teacher involvement and interaction is abundant, as well as great communication. My questions, comments and inquiries are always met with prompt replies from the appropriate person. The principal is always present and visible throughout the halls and in the evening conversations that start with "how was your day?" I am extremely satisfied with the quality of education my children are receiving at Bristol School, including art, music and an incredibly talented teaching staff!

My kids love their school, their teachers & the k-8 setting is what we wanted for them.

my school is great but there is something I don't like. my class is wright next the 4k and they are always so loud and bang on the walls. we have to shut are door. and some times my teacher has to yell at them. but we do learn a lot. the staff is so nice. we have bulling assembles every year to help kids not to bully. we also have awards assembles at the end of each month to show you did something good. but not everyone gets one at one assemble. they have movie nights to help make the school better. they also have family fun night at action terrortory to raise money for the school. so overall I think Bristol is an ok school

The good ole' boy network at its worst. The administration is the puppet master to a handful of teachers. The others do their best to provide a good quality education, but seem to be micro managed at times. A definite rift between administration and staff. In this small town school it is definitely who you know. The school focuses on the Bristol B's; positive behaviors for students. This would be a great concept if the entire staff and administration follow the same behaviors. Seems like students are targeted to be made an example of, focusing on the negative behaviors instead of the positive. Too much effort is put forth on this activity rather than providing a quality education; can be draining at times. The school does not offer challenging courses for those students who need it. Lacking in technology and early foreign language. We pulled our kids outs knowing there is a lot better schools available. The school is frugal with funds, a positive I suppose. Also has a talented band instructor.
