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!

=== This review is specific to the Mukilteo EACAP program located at Lake Stickney Elementary ===…read more This program is, in a single word, fantastic. My 3.5 yo child began a class here last fall and we've had nothing short of a terrific experience since day 1. School sessions are held in 4 different, fully-functional classrooms, each with a color-name, and supplied with a head teacher and at least two assistant teachers as well as parental volunteers, and each offers the choice between morning or afternoon classes lasting just shy of 4 hours, 4 days a week (no school on Fridays). Even before the school year begins, your child's assigned teacher will visit your home, explain the program and meet your child to make the first day(s) experience as comfortable as possible. Once school begins, classes are structured with daily schedules that include circle/group time, lunch provided by the school in the cafeteria (for PM class, not sure of AM), reading, crafts, fun lessons that usually correspond with a weekly theme, sufficient time for hygiene maintenance ala required hand-washing blocks, teeth brushing and consistent bathroom breaks, and TONS of sensory and free-play. In 5 months, my child is a pro at ABC's and color recognition and is far ahead of where I would expect in letter writing and fine-motor skills such as cutting, coloring within the lines and gluing. My child's classroom (The Red Room with Mary as lead teacher) in particular is a pure joy. My child began the school year very shy and apprehensive in nature. We weren't sure s/he was ready to be in such a bustling setting but it was BECAUSE of this extreme shyness that we wanted to try it out and we are just absolutely thrilled that we did. S/he has made friends quickly, is having a blast learning and playing in a safe, educational setting and the shyness has almost completely dissipated - after only 5 months! Each class is also assigned a family resource counselor who readily offers support both in and out of the classroom via regular check-ins and home visits, and after-school family activities such as Bubble Night, Literary Night and Parent Cafe - as well as open invitations to volunteer in or visit the classroom ANY time you want - ensures that you are welcomed and encouraged to participate in your child's early education experience. There is absolutely nothing I can possibly say that is negative about this school/program. It could use some posted direction and improvements in the parking lots (people parking in front of handicap walkways and in obviously restricted areas) but that's menial in the overall perspective. All in all, love, love, LOVE this place and couldn't be happier.
