Bedford Elementary School

No AC for the past 30 years, poor staff, poor leadership, students are generally failures, stay away.

Bedford is a truly GREAT school. The County, as a whole, changed it's standardized testing a few years ago and all schools are going through an adjustment phase. It's not fair that this site considers the test scores that are several years old in a current rating for the school. The new testing data isn't even available for this rating to be accurate. The leadership and administration at this school as above par. They set expectations and meet them. The staff is amazing. The PTA is very good at this school and that says alot. The events they hold are fun, family engaging, and the school works hard to meet the needs of all of the students. I am delighted that my children go here and I am happy that the school has so much parental and community support.

I have had children go through Bedford for the past 6 years and I have had nothing but great experiences. I love that it’s a small community school. The teachers are an asset to Bedford and the administration is outstanding. I have also seen the PTA grow in the past couple years and admire all their efforts in the school.

This school is one of the best schools in Baltimore County. It has strong leadership, excellent teachers and an entire staff committed to the academic success of the students. It's important to note that the data used in the ratings on this site is grossly out dated. The progress made here has been significant. They have a very strong PTA who stands up and fights for the school and students. They are not afraid to tackle tough issues affecting the school and community and have a deep relationship with the surrounding community associations. This school is amazing and I am honored that my children are able to attend.

Bedford is an amazing elementary school with a caring and diverse staff. Each child is nurtured and given high expectations. You really get a sense of community due to the smaller # of students compared to nearby schools with twice the amount of students. The students are friendly, behaved and really enjoy learning. I can't say enough good things about this school. The new Principal is doing a great job as well.
