Brighton Elementary School has a declining statewide ranking, going from 109 out of 148 schools in 2020-2021 to 135 out of 138 schools in 2018-2019, and is currently ranked 113 out of 133 Vermont elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year with a 1-star rating. The school's test scores are significantly below the state averages in all subjects and grade levels reported, with only 21.43% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts compared to the state average of 48%, and just 7.14% of 8th graders proficient in Mathematics compared to the state average of 34%. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 68.85% for the 2023-2024 school year.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.1 to 1, the high per-student spending of $13,873 for the 2018-2019 school year has not translated into better academic outcomes for the students. The data suggests that Brighton Elementary School is facing significant challenges in providing a quality education for its students, and more support and intervention may be needed to improve student performance.
