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.

Would not recommend this school. They give too much and they don't teach it properly or go too quick. Terrible food, and I've had times where I felt uncomfortable at this school. Overall, my time here was not the best and I truly hope this school works on changing. Do not be so harsh on us and try to give us time, make learning entertaining.

I have felt supportive since attending BAHS. I have had caring teachers, my counselor and school staff. I happy I chose and was selected to attend BAHS. The small size classed have benefited me greatly because of my dysgraphia.

My son goes to Bedford and I am so happy he is. He is learning exactly what he should be as a Sophomore. This was a great choice for him and I am so glad they are there for him.
