I have overall enjoyed my experience at Bedford high school, and feel very prepared for college, and my future to come. I have been very involved in sports in my 4 years at Bedford High School, as well as various clubs, and have taken a wide spread of classes in all subjects throughout my time as a student.

Definitely some good academics, but also a very messed up school district. I learned a good amount, but I also had to deal with a lot of stuff that I probably wouldn't have had to deal with if I went to private school.

This school is one of the worst schools I have ever attended! They do not care about you they only care about if your college worthy or going to college. As soon as they realize you aren’t or want to choose a different career path (ex cosmetology, plumber, barber) they say you won’t be successful in...

This highschool is the worst school ever, they treat their students and their parents like trash and create nonsense issues. They have no regards for what they do and they don't want to see their students to succeed!! Never ever send your child here unless you want issues!

Excellent. I have two different students as children. Both are successful in different ways. I appreciate the opportunity for success in my children’s education.
