Eleazer Davis Elementary (K–2), Lt. Job Lane Elementary (3–5), John Glenn Middle School (6–8), and [[Bedford High School (Bedford, Massachusetts)|Bedford High School]] (9–12). The on-post [[K-8 school]]<!--https://installations.militaryonesource.mil says "There are two schools located on Hanscom AFB for children residing in base housing; Hanscom Primary School and Hanscom Middle School" but the site redirects to "Hanscom School K-8" at http://lincnet.org/domain/23 --> of [[Hanscom Air Force Base]], a base which is partially located in Bedford, is operated the [[Lincoln School District (Massachusetts)|Lincoln School District]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://installations.militaryonesource.mil/military-installation/hanscom-afb/education/education|title=Hanscom AFB Education|publisher=[[Militaryonesource.mil]]|access-date=2024-10-28}} - This is a [[.mil]] site.</ref> Dependents of active duty military living on the base are sent to Bedford High. High school students living on the base who are not dependents of active duty military personnel are sent to [[Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School]] of the [[Lincoln-Sudbury Regional School District]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://thebedfordcitizen.org/2024/05/gordon-optimistic-about-renewal-of-state-aid-for-military-affiliated-students/|title=Gordon Optimistic about Renewal of State Aid for Military Affiliated Students|newspaper=[[The Bedford Citizen]]|date=2024-05-02|access-date=2024-10-28}}</ref> There is a [[METCO]] program, where students from Boston come to the Bedford schools, starting in kindergarten and staying with the class until graduation. Bedford is also part of the school district of [[Shawsheen Valley Technical High School]] which is in nearby [[Billerica, Massachusetts|Billerica]]. The former Center School was deactivated in the 1970s, and is today the Town Center and Recreation Department<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.town.bedford.ma.us/town_center/the_town_center_of_bedford.html|title=Town Center and Recreation Department|website=bedford.ma.us|access-date=April 30, 2018|url-status = dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051112190616/http://www.town.bedford.ma.us/town_center/the_town_center_of_bedford.html|archive-date=November 12, 2005}}</ref> Nathaniel Page School was similarly deactivated in about 1982 and today is a condominium community. Davis, Lane and Page elementary schools were all k–6 at one time. John Glenn Middle School (originally called Bedford Junior High School) is named for John Glenn, formerly the Superintendent of Schools in Bedford, not for the U.S. Senator and astronaut. The Davis and Lane (and former Page) schools are named for local officers who took part in the [[Battle of Concord]] on April 19, 1775.
