Worst school ever! Take your child out of here. Principal is quite irresponsible and teachers only protect him, people here show a face of being very kind staff, but in reality they cover their faults each other, without caring if it affects the student. Don't be fooled by their fake friendliness and be careful.

I appreciate administrations care and concerns for the students at BP. I am happy with programs and activities that the school offers students and parents. My son loves his school.

This school is better now that it has a new principal. Principal Williams was just bad, and Principal Johnson bad as well. The assistant principals were always good, Ms. Basile, Ms. Smith and Ms. Dragos, but too bad they are all gone because of the horrible principals. I have 2 kids at Brighton Park, and really hope that Ms. Haas gets to stay.

Please send workshop, school event and other notices with more than 1 day notice. The office staff is disorganized.

This school has gone insane! Girls can't wear skinny pants because they distract guys?! That really doesn't matter eyes are for looking and it doesnt matter if they do look at girls,Oh well thats how guys are-DEAL WITH IT!!! Teachers say "Oh well your coming to school not to a fashion contest, but dont they realize by making them wear uniform and not letting girls to wear skinny pants that they are making them dress how they want to when supposively they are going to school not to a fashion show.I think that the school rules are starting to get a little bit off the line.Now you can't even put rubber pants on your pants...Hello? Just because the teachers are getting old and don't now how to dress up at the fashion these days doesn't mean you hav the right to make the people who have sense of fashion becom unfashionable.
