I came into Bedford High School in the middle of the school year from another state and was immediately welcomed with open arms! I was able to get plugged in very quickly with the musical that year, which made it much easier to get involved and make friends. The environment was safe and supportive throughout my time there and the faculty was more than kind and super accessible! Thank you, Bedford High School, for being the solid educational platform that I was able to jump to college from!
I've really liked my time here. It takes some time but you'll find your people.
The theater and music programs are AMAZING.
The school isn't super diverse, we have a military base nearby and many of those kids are conservative and sometimes not very kind in my experience (though plenty of them are great too!), but in general, the school is pretty liberal
Many of the teachers are awesome, I've connected with a lot of them really well.
There are decent resources for post-secondary plans.
I've found the counselors are pretty there-for-you.
from my experience, it's kinda cliquey, but not that bad. I have trouble creating friendships in general, but I've still managed to cultivate several meaningful ones during my time here.
The theater program is very welcoming I found my home there.
Unlike some other reviews I really like the administration, though the principle did change recently. Their always trying to improve stuff and taking student input which is great.

The staff is very friendly and understands students' needs/issues. They take into consideration that students have other classes and other things in life such as work, family, friends, sports, etc. The education is one of the best that I've seen out of the plenty of schools that I've been to. You will always be able to find help if needed and have someone that is available to you. This helps create a safe and comfortable environment for the students, which is very much needed.
