Bedford is all in all a great town! I'm a senior in high school who just committed to playing D1 at U of Oregon and BHS has really prepared me to strive for the best as a person and as a student! Bedford is a suburban community with really down-to-earth residents and with great (yet pricey). The school district is highly rated and the teachers and students genuinely care about you. The only two issues would be that it is quite boring with not a lot to do and an hour away from everything... and the lack of diversity in the town and school district which bedford needs to do better on. Otherwise, I love it here and it was the best 6 years of my life!
Schools are ok. They only care about grades that can offer good test scores. Remote Kindergarten is awful and the district does not care, even with multiple complaints. School work and learning is below average. We moved and my oldest spent a full year reviewing the items she learned two full previous years. They prentend to care, if you can benefit then. Other than that, it’s a very small pretentious town that has very little to offer. There are two nice grocery shops, but the other shops are too small to find what you actually need. They love themselves and hate everyone else. It’s a great place for small minded white folks.
We have lived in Bedford for 12 years and have seen a lot of growth; recently Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Market Basket, and brand new Hannaford. Widening of 101 in Bedford by the Bedford Village Inn will help with traffic flow. Manchester has some great restaurants and is only 12 mins away. We are an hour away from everything; the mountains and lakes, ocean, and Boston. Yes housing is expensive, but the homes are spread apart with lots of woods as buffers...very private and beautiful!
