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've been in the Bedford district for awhile now, since kindergarten but Bedford high school is fun, the teachers are supportive and very educated, they make the classes fun and whenever we do projects they help us out as much as they can. The students are also supportive, nice and help out each other.

I would have rated Bedford a high 3 during my first two years of attendance. By graduation ('98), it would have rated a generous 1, only because half a star apparently isn't an option. I witnessed firsthand the beginning of the end with the hoards of urban youth piling into/out of the RTA (city) bus...

I used to think Bedford High School was a good and safe place to send your kids to get a quality education. That changed in a hurry. This whole school system is pretty much a joke anymore! Its not the teachers fault at all, its the complete carelessness on the students' part and parents failing to g...
