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 school 7/8 was a horrible experience. The high school is excellent is you are from the area (ie, parents, grandparents, etc went here), have a lot of money, are white and are part of the accepted and highly exclusive social cliques. The principals at the high school are the best that I have ever encountered. They are personable and seem to understand and try to do everything that they can to help out. If you have a 504 kid or special needs kid be prepared to fight for them daily, otherwise they WILL fall through the cracks. The teacher that you get for a subject will make or break your grade and ultimately your GPA. English and history are so, so here, go online. There are some excellent teachers and there are terrible ones too, like everywhere. This school is superb for cookie cutter learners that can sit and listen for 8 hours straight, juggle an additional 2-4 hours per night of homework, and are on a track for STEM. There is an excellent performing arts and band program here. Someone above mentioned that most A/B students flunk out here and I will say that it is true, but it is not due to the other kids being of superior intelligence, but because they get the better teachers, and are probably a teacher's kid, friend's with the teachers, or have parents that are ON TOP OF IT who communicate with the school regularly. Unless your child is super self-motivated, do NOT send them here. As far as athletics go, they tend to honor the boys more than the girls. The kids who make Varsity are sometimes not the most talented, but the most popular. If your 9/10th grader makes Varsity be prepared for jealousy bc some have been raised to believe they are better then they r. They at times hire club coaches who have been known to favor their sometimes less-gifted club kids to push them ahead. This can mess with even the most gifted athlete, so if you chose to go here, please keep that in mind. There is a lot of nastiness especially if your kid is talented in academics, athletics, is good looking and not from this town, move them to Hartland quickly, their life will be more challenging here. So it depends on what you are looking for, but it's an average school experience overall.

Switched from catholic school to public. I’ve had a much better experience compared to catholic school. Teachers are very kind and understanding. I feel like the material can sometimes be easier depending on the class and sometimes it can be harder. I love the physical school building itself as well. Overall I would recommend Scranton. The only negative I’ve noticedis the Spanish teacher who is very mean.

Wonderful everyone who works here is very supportive. This is a great school

My Son and I moved here to Brighton from Eastpointe. He starts here tomorrow. We went to his IEP two days ago and I HONESTLY can say it was the greatest group of special education Teachers and staff I have ever dealt with. I would highly recommend this school.
