Our son is finishing his junior year at Bedford and is a product of the Bedford school system. We had no idea what type of student he would be headed into middle school and high school, but his pre-high school education prepared him well for Bedford High, where he qualified for high honor and then AP classes, and has excelled. He was encouraged, challenged, allowed to be innovative, creative, and develop all of the core competencies, in addition to art, history, digital media, and more. He has scored well on his standardized tests, and is a candidate for many excellent colleges. And while high school is "click-ee," and he is not an extrovert, he has made some excellent friendships with a good bunch of kids who work hard, give back to society, and have a good chance of getting into good schools with the strengths in their desired concentrations. He has also participated in a few school events/productions, and has excelled in his high school sports as well. The guidance counselors are helpful, and care more than most, but it is still up to the student to reach out and make things happen. We also have other kids in the middle schools, both needing special ed, and not, and have found the schools equally adept, if not outstanding, in addressing their needs as well. All in all, while no school or school system is perfect, Bedford schools and high school has been what we hoped for when we moved here many years ago.

I feel like the school doesn't do enough about people being bullied or racist slurs or swears, so many people are racist and the school doesn't care. The teachers also don't try to make it enjoyable or fun. Would not recommend this school.

We were recommended to Bedford because my son has an IEP since pre-K and we are so happy that we made it here - So many supportive teachers and programs! The engagement with parents are pretty good too. My son absolutely loves this school and he thrives here especially his social skills.

Most of the part is good but not the school lunch. The teaches there teach in a good way and there’s a lot of social interaction which is a good thing. Lane School has plenty of events and activities like movie day, student council and a whole lot of other specialevents and activities.
