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.

Elementary grades were good. Poor, very poor quality of teaching at the middle school level. Administration lacks organization and management skills. Some of the middle school teachers and administration use bullying tactics and humiliation of students. Overall, the quality of education is declining at this school.

Great school. Definitely prepared my son for high school. He is currently taking all honors classes in addition to being bumped up to 11th grade math. All the teachers are great but the middle school teachers did a phenomenal job. Kudos to Brighten Academy.
