Summary:

Families in the Bedford area are served by a single public high school in this data set: Bedford-North Lawrence High School, part of North Lawrence Com Schools. It enrolls 1,268 students in grades 9–12, with a student-teacher ratio of 17.2 (roughly 74 teachers) and per-student spending of $11,194. About 53.63% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Because there is only one high school here, the useful comparisons are to the district, the state, and the school's own prior years.

Attendance is the standout. Chronic absenteeism is 7.1%, less than half the state's 16.7% and well below the district's 12.0%. The graduation rate is 90.6%, just above Indiana's 89.7%. Biology proficiency rose from 36.54% to 44.81% year over year. The school's state ranking improved from 191st of 429 to 161st of 415, a jump from the 55th to the 61st percentile, and it holds a 3-star rating.

Math remains the clearest academic concern: SAT Math proficiency was 23.16% and then 23.72%, below the state's 25.4% and 25.6% in both years. SAT ERW was above state in 2024–2025 (55.15% vs. 54.5%) but fell to 49.01%, below the state's 51.9%, in 2025–2026 — a swing that may reflect different student cohorts. No state comparison is available for 2025–2026 Biology. Overall, this profile shows strong attendance, above-state graduation, and improving biology, with math as the area to watch.
