We've been at Brighton for five years after coming from public school, and our experience has been…read morewonderful. With 3 kids who have spanned the range if preschool, elementary, and middle school, I can say the middle school especially has exceeded expectations. Initially, I was nervous because of its smaller size, but it's been fabulous, the teachers embrace the middle school years while preparing students for real-world situations. We've had the honor of having both Ms. Shippers and Ms. Savage twice. Ms. Shippers has years of experience yet brings fresh enthusiasm every day, and Ms. Savage's connection with the kids is remarkable. Brighton truly offers a nurturing, dynamic environment we're so grateful for!

Brighton School is wonderful and we love it!!!!!…read more I've had my kids at Brighton for at least eleven years? I've lose count. My son attended Brighton from first through eighth grade and my daughter started in preschool and is now in sixth grade. My kids are completely different and they have both absolutely thrived at Brighton. Brighton does an awesome job of providing an excellent well-rounded education for many different types of learners and kids. Brighton offers an excellent academic program, but also offers an amazing drama program with Mr. DC, some great sports programs, after school extracurriculars, yearly overnight field trips that get longer with each grade level and culminate in a 10 day East Coast trip for the 8th graders, etc. The greatest asset to Brighton is its staff. Brighton attracts some truly talented, caring and highly invested staff and teachers. There are teachers at Brighton who have truly changed the course of my childrens' lives. Ms. (formerly Gabriel) Savage is my daughter's idol. Ms. Savage is the perfect role model for my child, as she is strong, confident, smart, kind and encouraging. My daughter is a gymnast and she has talked to my daughter about mental blocks. She is a great teacher but she clearly cares about her students in a way that goes beyond what her job requires. Her assistant Ms. Carrie is also so caring, patient and kind. Ms. Durbin is another teacher that made a real difference in my daughter's life. Ms. Durbin was like a second mother to my daughter, or my daughter's stand-in mother at school. My daughter has always had a ton of anxiety about overnight field trips, but knowing that Ms. Durbin would be on the field trip always made her feel better. Ms. Durbin knew when to be serious and get the class under control but could also be so silly and have fun with the class. Mr. DiLorenzo is another incredible asset to the Brighton community. Mr. D. was my child's third grade teacher, and he was an incredibly gifted educator then, and now he is the head of the middle school. Mr. D. can be so fun and silly with the kids, but he also knows when to be serious and address serious issues. My son had an awesome middle school experience at Brighton and during his years there built up a community of friends who carried over into the same high school. Ms. Livingston has been serving the Brighton middle school for years in various capacities and she is AMAZING!!!! She is currently teaching math and she is an awesome math teacher, but she also handles a lot of the administrative stuff for the middle school. She's very friendly, great with the kids, great with the parents, and easy to get along with. Ms. Bodnar, according to my 17 year old son, is "the GOAT" (greatest of all time). Ms. Bodnar teachers study skills and math (I think) but she connects with the kids in a way that few others do. My son emphatically thinks that she is the best teacher at Brighton. Ms. Thaler is also a great language arts teacher. She definitely knows what she is doing and I appreciate that she actually challenges the kids. This is Ms. Parks Lobbs' first year as Head of School, but she has been involved with other parts of the school for years and she appears to be 100% in charge of what is happening and in control of things. As a very long-time parent of Brighton who has observed three separate Heads of School, I think Ms. Parks Lobb is doing a great job. There are a lot of other amazing staff members at Brighton who I am going to forget to mention. We love Coach Matt, who is the kindest, funniest guy to have around. He always greets my daughter in the morning with the biggest smile and it makes me feel so good about dropping her off. He also love Coach Brandon, who has been there for years and is super well loved by all the kids. He made the summer camp a blast for my daughter. We really loved Ms. Becca, who is a former aide who is no longer there. We wish the school brought her back. My son had Ms. Schippers for both hers and his first year at Brighton (first grade) and she made him feel super welcome and safe. I don't remember the full names of my daughter's pre-K teacher and aide (the aide was Sarah) but they were both so amazing! Oh yeah, the parents, kids and community at Brighton are also awesome. Both my kids have made amazing friends and we have done all the playdates, the sleepovers, the skate nights (thanks, PTO!), all of it. My son has friends he literally made in FIRST GRADE and now are JUNIORS in high school and they are part of the same friend group and in some of the same advanced classes. My daughter and her best friends met years ago, some as far back as preschool. I've known those parents just as long. The parents are great and the PTO is currently thriving. I've never been involved in the PTO, but I am very, very grateful for the amazing parents who run it and all that they do. Best money we ever spent!

I'm writing this review as a 15-year-old freshman at this school. Not sure if my perspective will…read morechange over time, but that's worth noting. I hate how stupid some of the assignments and grades and stuff are. This isn't just a problem at this school; it's more of a problem in most schools around the country. But the curriculum is so broken. We just spend hours memorizing facts to spit back out when we take the test. We memorize a bunch of facts, recite that information on tests, and then forget it, so we can make room in our heads to memorize more information to recite on tests, and then forget it, so we can make room in our heads to memorize more information to recite on tests, and then forget it, SO WE CAN MAKE ROOM IN OUR HEADS TO MEMORIZE MORE INFORMATION TO RECITE - ok, I think you get it. We always tell our teachers and parents that a lot of the things we learn in school will never help us in the future. What they always say in response is something along the lines of, "Yeah, you may not need it. But you DO need to learn how to learn." Oh, so you call sitting in chairs super neatly put into grid-like formations, writing down exactly what we're told to on our note page, and doing exactly the things we are told to do by the teachers, "learning how to learn"? You really call THAT learning how to learn?! 98% of children aged 4 - 5 are classified as creative geniuses. But funnily enough, only 2% of adults are classified as creative geniuses. What's up with that? Why did the percentage shrink by 49 times? Could it be the school's fault? Definitely. School teaches us to obey, not to think. If you asked a 7-year-old to write a few paragraphs about airplanes, it would probably be really jovial, bouncy, and fun to read. But if you asked a college student to write a few paragraphs about airplanes, it would look about equivalent to something ChatGPT could generate. AI is going to replace a lot of our jobs here eventually, and AI is constantly getting smarter. But you know what we, humans, have that AI could never have? Creativity! So it makes NEGATIVE sense that schools suppress it rather than nurture it! Long story short, school doesn't make us smarter. It makes us DUMBER. Take this brag alert, but I can list off many useful skills I have, verbatim. I can code with Python, I can produce awesome music, write decent stories, especially for my age, that people will stick around reading until the end, name every country recognized by the United Nations and the capitals of said countries, make five-minutes-plus, non-clickbait, non-brainrot YouTube videos across FIVE channels that get up to 235 THOUSAND VIEWS, and I have a stronger vocabulary than 99% of people I know of at my age. With those skills I just mentioned, I could be a software engineer, a game designer, a music producer who sells his music, a freelance song commission-taker (which I already am, and have earned 10$ from), an author, a linguist, a YouTuber, a video editor, and/or so many more things! And my skillset is definitely only going to grow and get better as I get older! But as long as I can't solve for x, school doesn't give a crap about any of that. School always assumes really terribly of our abilities and what we want to do when we grow up; I don't want to be a mathematician, a historian, or someone who studies million-year-old rocks and finds out where they come from (no offense to anyone who does want to be those things). But school just assumes I want to be all of those, not one at a time, but all at once! It is for all of these reasons that I blame all of these problems of mine on THE SCHOOL. Wow. I can't believe I ranted like that. Idk, have a good day I guess lol
