Bristol Faces Growth in Upper Grade Enrollments
Town education officials report rising enrollments in grades 7 through 12 from 1920 to 1930 and anticipate continued growth into 1935 and 1940. Bristol’s share remains lower than nearby towns like East Providence and Barrington, tied to its large recent-immigrant population and factory-town economy. Projections consider new building, heating, and cost needs, with a plan for a $100,000 bond to fund additions and equipment while eyeing part-time schedules and a free eye clinic for 245 students needing glasses.
