I graduated from Bristol High school last year (2009) and I am currently at college. After only a month at college, I have realized that Bristol did not prepare me fully for college. I agree the English department was acceptable but in the sciences, not so much. I believe that Bristol's chemistry course held sufficient information for a college chemistry course but the biology course is truly lacking. I received very good grades in high school but I now find myself struggling to keep up with the material that I was 'supposed' to already have learned. Overall, the school is average. If you plan to go into a career that involves science, you may find that Bristol does not equip you with the proper knowledge for college level science courses.
I am to be a senior for the 2009-2010 school year. I believe that the school is fairly decent. As previously stated, it is 'average.' Schedule conflicts are extremely common. Complaints about how the math is taught are fairly common, though the teacher will explain it further if you ask. I admit that Chemistry nearly put me to sleep on more than one occasion, but I am still able to comprehend it. Overall, the classes are good. Though many of them lack challenge to me, and a few others. I do not state that for the entire student body, but for myself only. The administration has its faults. The intentions are, more often than naught, good, but the means are somewhat questionable to say the least. Trivial things are deemed to be major offenses that require immediate disciplinary action. Overall, the school is decent, with some flaws that need fixed.

I am currently a senior at Bristol High School. I came here from Bloomfield for my sophmore year (2006-2007). I think the science department is severly lacking, and I spent most of my time in those classes sleeping. I am a good student and I have good grades (all As usually), and both Biology and Chemistry failed to either challenge me or teach me anything. I think that Mrs. Suttles does a really excellent job teaching english. While the math teachers may not be ideal for the average student, I didn't have a problem with their teaching methods and did well. This school isn't the best school in the world, and they do have have rules about trivial matters, but it could be a lot worse and I think that with the money they have, they are doing a decent job.
