My experience at Bedford High School has been pretty great! Due to the pandemic, I wasn't able to get a full high school experience but even without the full experience, it is still really great to attend. Sports and academics are personally the top quality's of the school because we are D1 and we are rated very high on academics, so those are the reasons my family moved to Bedford. i recommend it if you wish to have a challenge and get yourself at the top of the charts. I love it here.
Bedford High School over-prepared me for college. The IB Diploma is very challenging but definitely pays off. As a college student today, I am well equipped to handle the coursework my professors assign. The majority of the teaches at Bedford High School are very good at conveying the material to students. The administrators and teachers also care a lot about student well-being. The food is not that good. Although, most students bring their own lunch and snacks to school anyways. It is not a very diverse school. Despite this, the administration and teachers try to promote discussions of diversity in the classroom. It is the Bedford School District parents (particularly the moms) that get in the way of the school's objectives in regards to diversity. The school provides many opportunities to get involved in the community, from highly specific clubs to a wide range of volunteer opportunities and athletic teams.
A a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was clear that mental health was declining among students, so a speaker was brought in to speak to the school; this time it was a so-called "therapist". Rather than address the problem of stress caused by high expectations in school, a global pandemic, and any other reasonable source of stress, their first thought was to blame the students for the stress they were enduring. This was a prevalent theme at Bedford High School because of the surveys students were expected to fill out a few times a year. After the data was collected saying students were overwhelmed with the amount of homework and expectations in comparison to two years of pandemic learning, the staff told the students to manage their time better. Although it is a public school, I expect them to learn from their mistakes and prioritize their students.
