As the township grew, several one room schoolhouses dotted the township area. Near the end of the nineteenth century a limited program of secondary education was added; the first students graduated in 1888. Centralization of township school facilities came in 1915 and has continued as such to the present time.

In July 1988, a merger occurred with the Farmington Local School District which added an additional building and 400 students to the Bristol Local School District. Today a full comprehensive elementary, middle and high school are provided for its pupils.
