GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I am still attending Bedford High School, but overall my high school experience has been just like any other. The building needs some renovations and the food needs upgraded, but altogether I've had a great few years of high school.

Bedford is truly a great school compared to the schools in our county and throughout PA. The academics are great if you challenge yourself and the teachers actually teach and are extremely helpful. We have clubs for almost everything and we are very good with sports. Overall, I've had a great time in high school because of the clubs I've participated in and the teachers that have helped me with everything from normal schoolwork to college prep.

The education was good, however I wish the school took more time to focus on real issues like mental health.
