Sports are all parent / coach politics. Start pay to play young or you will be ignored by coaches. Staff and faculty care more about social issues than academics. It's all for show. Ended up in private school. Don't be fooled here.

When I attended Bedford High School in New Hampshire I felt very welcomed by not only the staff but the students as well. The school presented a comforting and home like feel whether it was decorations being put up or even daily check ups being asked. I've met super nice teachers who put forth the effort to not only try and teach you lessons but to actually know you as a person. My favorite classes to attend at the school was in the subject of math. I loved how different the lessons were in each year I had math. It was to the point where even playing games related to our topics helped me get a better understanding rather than just taking notes down or watching YouTube videos. In my honest opinion with having attending the highschool for 4 years I never experienced anything awful or horrible that would have left a mark.

Great teacher with low turnover. My college freshman daughter says she is more prepared for her writing assignments than many of her peers in college because at BHS they made her do ANALYSIS and not just regurgitate info.

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.
