GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The school itself isn't too bad, but a lot of the people here are. Students and even teachers are often disrespectful. The current administration isn't great at all either.

I made the right choice coming to this school. I was able to meet new friends and had an experience that I wouldn't have gotten if I went to a normal high school. I will walk out with a Dental Assisting license when I graduate. The teachers are all kind and willing to do whatever you need to help you succeed. My friends and I all enjoyed the lunches they provided. Bristol Plymouth has so many clubs to join and decent sports that there is something for everyone. Overall, I am happy with my choice I made coming to Bristol Plymouth.

My experience at Bristol-Plymouth Regional Technical School has its ups and downs. Some good parts about this School is that the teachers are amazing. They are very kind and understanding with only a few teacher being outliers. I have had some of the best experiences with some of the teachers and guidance counselors. The school also has a lot of opportunities to learn a specific trade. However since you learn one trade it is hard to branch out from this one trade. If you want to take any other class there is no opportunities for it. Not only this but there is minimal AP courses so their academics is lacking. There is also a very small amount of clubs. Not only this but the food is almost inedible.

This school recently suspended and may expel 2 students for a picture posted to one student's Facebook page that was taken in his home of hom amd his girlfriend posing (innocently) with rifles, no different than any kids hunting with their parents. They subjected these children to isolated interview...

When i taught there, besides from all the violence the teachers portrayed, it was an overall good school, students ruled the school, fights broke out. I highly recommend it.
