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.

Brighton Highschool is an amazing school for a student looking for lots of involvement, great sports teams, good cafeteria food as well as great teachers. I have enjoyed all 4 years of my attendance and most people can say the same.
