I am currently a UK citizen wanting to join a flight school in USA. Could anybody please recommend some good quality, trusted and reasonably priced flight schools where I can start from scratch?

No we can’t.
First of all there are thousands of flightschools in the USA.
Second of all there is a lot of turn over at flightschools as it’s a career building stepping stone. Out of 15 employees that were there last year 10 may have left this year. Therefore atmosphere and quality of training can fluctuate wildly even at the same school.
So a recommendation from someone that was there a couple of years ago is worth very little.

ill point you in the right direction, as a foreigner ( to the US) you’ll need to train at a Part 141 school because of visa requirements.
These are to be found on the FAA website.
Traditionally the high volume flight training states have been all the southern states. California all the way to Florida.

What do you want to do? Private or all the way? FAA or EASA?
