How Bristol Grade School compares with Illinois and U.S. medians
What stands out at Bristol Grade School
Small campus without a staffing-size advantage
Bristol Grade School enrolls fewer students than most Illinois schools, yet its student-teacher ratio is still on the heavier side of the state distribution. Small enrollment therefore does not translate into more teacher capacity per student here. That makes staffing capacity, rather than campus scale alone, the useful interpretation. The counselor, attendance, and program indicators below help show whether the pressure is narrow or part of a broader resource constraint.
Student support operates inside a leaner district budget
Bristol Grade School's district reports $14,596 in per-pupil expenditure, at least 15% below the Illinois average of $18,196. That district-wide constraint gives the campus-level support fields added meaning: counselor loads, specialist staffing, and program access are being reported within a comparatively lean spending environment. F-33 does not publish this school's own budget, so the comparison describes district context rather than dollars assigned to this building.
Bristol Grade School is a mid-sized elementary school in Bristol, Illinois, enrolling 196 students.
Class loads run heavy: 17.8:1 is larger than about 90% of Illinois schools and 27% above the 14:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
