Brighton's centralized location allows it to attract students from St. Petersburg and the Gulf Beach communities, Seminole, Pinellas Park and Largo. Parents are attracted by the safety and security of Brighton's smallness and individualized nature. This offers "peace of mind" to the families. The fundamental style of education in the traditional offerings of Reading and Mathematics and Phonics is another drawing factor. Brighton specializes in working with students with learning disabilities and accepts the McKay scholarship.
