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.

My experiences at Brighton High school has overall been good yet Brighton high school has had some difficulty's with admin taking sides with students who are clearly in the wrong .Its a good school for academic but also is a school of admin taking sides with people they've known longer then others making people feel as if they cant speak there mind due to the fact they will be overruled by the other part . Although that is a problem Brighton high school also has one of the highest scoring academic record in Tennessee making it a great environment to learn , Brighton high school empowers me to do more that I ever thought I could do myself .Thank you Brighton high school I cant wait to see what the next 2 years shall hold .

There are many good things about Brighton High School. To start off with, the teachers are very kind and respectful with the students, the facility is very fun to be around, the kids get along good, and the teachers are preparing each and every student for college and setting goals with them. Although there are a lot of positives with the school, I wish that they're were more elective focus areas, and more life situation classes than there are.

They have very good facilities especially for the county. Most of the teachers strive to improve academic growth. One thing I don't like is the science department doesn't teach. One thing I would change is to improve the sense of unity around the school

I would say that this school is an 8 out of 10. It is very good with advance classes, school clubs, and supporting teachers who care. My daughter loves it here. That is what makes me really happy.

Brighton High School is officially at an all time high. In the past years I have felt extremely highly of this school, but that has all changed. After a personal encounter with administration and other school leaders I am disappointed and dissatisfied with how certain situations are handled. It depe...
