Summary:
The city of Brighton, Tennessee is home to three schools serving students from elementary through high school: Brighton High School, Brighton Middle School, and Brighton Elementary. These schools are part of the Tipton County School District, which is ranked 92 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.
Among the three Brighton schools, Brighton Middle School stands out as the highest performer, ranking 161 out of 580 Tennessee middle schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has strong test scores, particularly in science and social studies, outperforming the Tipton County and Tennessee averages. In contrast, Brighton High School has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 122 out of 384 high schools in 2022-2023 to 229 out of 374 in 2023-2024, with a corresponding decrease in its SchoolDigger rating from 3 stars to 2 stars.
The racial makeup of the Brighton schools is predominantly white, ranging from 71.41% at Brighton Middle School to 81.53% at Brighton Elementary. This may raise questions about equity and access for minority students, and further analysis would be needed to understand if there are any disparities in academic outcomes or opportunities for these students.
