I interviewed for a custodian position at Bristol School District. The interview was done on a panel of 3 people which is strange for a custodian position. Some of the people on that panel were rude interviewers. They told me that I would get a phone call back after the interview to tell me if I got the job or not. The phone call never came. I find that to be very unprofessional. Also I was told that they don't use the microfiber mopping system which is the modern industry standard for custodial equipment. Although some of the staff members were nice. I wouldn't recommend working as a janitor at that school as they seem disorganized as to how they run their janitorial department.

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 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.

Bristol School is a great school with room to grow. The school is working to advance but may need more of a push bristolschoolwi.wordpress.com

I moved to this district specifically so my children could attend Bristol School and have not been disappointed in my decision in any way. Our teachers are wonderful, engaged and very hard working. The Administrator, Principal and administrative staff are responsible, organized and creative. The school is responsibly implementing technology into the curriculum so that my kids are leaning to use the technology to enhance their learning experience. Overall I'm very pleased with Bristol School.

Both of my children attended Bristol School and were very well prepared for High School. The staff and administration were wonderful. When commenting on a school it is important to remember that there is one teacher and 20-25 students. The teachers do their best to meet the individual needs of all the students, but can't teach 25 different curriculums at the same time. As a parent I feel I am the best one to provide enrichment for my children on a one/one basis. The ratio of 2 to 1 is much more conducive to that. I chose Bristol School to provide a well-rounded education for my children and was not disappointed.

My child attended Bristol Elementary School for grades 7 & 8. During her time at Bristol, there were several incidents with inappropriate behaviors by the teachers, principal and the district administator. I would not recommend this school if my life depended on it. My child graduated from that school with numerous emotional problems, anxiety issues, etc. We have since moved to Illinois hoping to undo the damage Bristol School did.

This is probably one of the best schools in SE WI. Great & caring staff, superior administrator and staff. Very challenging programs, awesome band, music & art teachers. I went here & my son is getting a great education & will be ready for HS. I would tell anyone to go here!
