Bristol Central high school is a great place to go to school with many different opportunities for kids of all interests. There's a large variety of clubs from acedemuc opportunities like math team to arts clubs, to many different sports. It's not the best school ever but it is a wonderful place.

I would like to see more healthy food be offered. I like how devoted and involed the principals are. There is a mix of good and bad teachers. We are given too much homework

8/14/2024

This is the literal definition of a failing public school. All you have to do is look at the percentage of students who are at the required reading level (51%) and at the required math level (25%). Numbers like these are unacceptable! Severe changes need to be made!
