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 after school clubs are great. I learned to crochet, sew, paint. We have a GSA club where we can get together and support each other. The musicals are amazing and the school spirit is in abundance. I really like senior survivor where we have teams that raise money for a different charity each year. I was part of science Olympiad and it was a good experience because we focused on having fun rather than just getting metals and trophies. Overall I had a good high school experience

Two of my kids attended Brighton schools. One graduated from here and the other did some HS before moving to a different school. There are pros and cons to sending your kid here, One of mine did good the other average here, so I am neutral. The elementary & 5-6 buildings were great! The middle schoo...
