Brighton Area Schools
School District
Brighton, MI
Rating 4.38 out of 5 61 reviews
#1 Best School Districts in Livingston County
Senior: The overall feeling of the Brighton Community is great! There is lots of involvement in the sports teams which is what I love. Most of the teachers are good and are wonderful at teaching. My main complaint is for the few teachers that need to find new ways to teach, if that many students aren't doing well it's most likely the teacher not finding the best way to explain their lesson.

Hartland Consolidated Schools
School District
Hartland, MI
Rating 4.28 out of 5 76 reviews
#2 Best School Districts in Livingston County
Alum: My teachers at Hartland were incredible, and still some of my favorite people to this day! I stay in contact with most of my teachers from high school, and they even are willing to take time to help me even at the college level. Like every school district, there are its flaws. Administration can be a little misguided and bias, however they have the school's best interest in mind (which is sometimes not the greatest outcome for students).

Howell Public Schools
School District
Howell, MI
Rating 3.76 out of 5 78 reviews
#4 Best School Districts in Livingston County
Senior: The school itself is very old and dark, however, the students seem to be very smart and welcoming. The staff is able to answer any question I may have, and they are always super helpful. I would not have wanted to go to high school anywhere else. The teachers were eager to accompany the many different learning styles of each student and always made themselves available for extra help whenever I needed it. Howell has an abundance of classes one can take ranging from a CNA program to the ability for someone to study a class online, if they want to take it, but it is not provided within the school’s hallways.

Fowlerville Community Schools
School District
Fowlerville, MI
Rating 4.14 out of 5 14 reviews
Parent: My children have been attending Fowlerville community schools since kindergarten, while they have not yet reached high school, the elementary and junior high schools have provided them with an excellent academic and social experience. The faculty is fantastic and always available for resources and support. Have had 17 years as an educator myself, I have set the bar high for my kids. Their experience this far at Fowlerville have helped them to maintain a high regard for academics, strong moral character, independent thinking and commitment to community. The small community provides a nurturing environment that is not often found in larger urban communities. A great place!

Pinckney Community Schools
School District
Pinckney, MI
Rating 3.68 out of 5 47 reviews
Senior: For the most part, Pinckney schools are good schools. Most teachers are super nice and willing to see you succeed. The kids in the district are, overall, pretty decent. Some of the school activities are fun like pep assemblies and dances. The teachers are pretty chill too and definitely people that you can build relationships with and are people that you can lean on for support. There aren't any teachers that I would say I hate or wouldn't want to have again, but I do have favorites. There are somethings that happen that I wouldn't give the school 5 stars for, but overall I wouldn't change districts.

Parent: Cortona Academy has been a wonderful experience for our daughter.
