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.

Overall, Brighton High School is a relatively good school. If you take the right classes and get the right teachers you are guaranteed to be set up well for a college education. However, there are problems in safety, the school has been taking recent measures to try to ensure the protection of all students.

I had a great experience at Brighton High School. I had great relationships with my teachers and found great friends that I will continue to be friends with outside of high school. There are so many class options that there is a place for everyone. There are sports, clubs, teams, groups of all kinds that you will easily find what suites you. The school is rich in history and character.
