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.

I have really enjoyed my experience at Brighton high school. There are so many options for your education and so many paths to go down. I think it is great that there is something for everyone there. They have tons of extracurricular activities to try. The teachers are good in my experience. They are helpful and want you to do your best. It really is a good high school.

My daughter was locked in a bathroom and SA at BHS. The school said it was consent (she was 13). She was locked in a bathroom while 2 boys stood outside the door. She was bullied and threatened. The school did NOTHING to protect her. Protect the athletes at all costs. Since my daughter's title ix case multiple more have been filed. The ball dropped. I ultimately had to pull her out because of the threats we were receiving.

Brighton is a very well run school that offers a lot of different options for students in terms of classes and extracurriculars. The sports facilities are very good as we just got a new indoor Fieldhouse facility, and we have a lot of less popular sports available. We also just got a new wing that we call the stem center. This has engineering, trade, auto, and medical classrooms that operate more as labs than classrooms.

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...
