The Bedford school district, operating under SAU #25, currently has four schools and is in the process of building two more.  Bedford has three elementary schools, Memorial Elementary School, the Peter Woodbury Elementary School and the Riddle Brook Elementary School, accommodating pre-school and kindergarten all the way up to fifth grade.  Grades six through eight currently attend the McKelvie Middle School.  For now, grades nine through twelve attend Manchester High School West, but in September 2007 Bedford will open two new schools eliminating the need to tuition its students elsewhere.  The Ross A. Lurgio Middle School and the Bedford High School will house students in grades seven though twelve and should expand Bedford's potential for student enrollment well into the future.  With an 800-seat auditorium, the capability of housing 2300 students and a huge gymnasium with a 3000 person capacity, these schools are just what this growing community needs.
