Pound Ridge Elementary School is one of five elementary schools in the Bedford Central School District. It has an enrollment of roughly 400 students, per the 2009-10 district report. 

Last year, the school participated in a variety of service projects, including sending letters to troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, Midnight Run, the ASPCA, Pennies for Peace, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

As part of its interactive literacy instruction, it publishes a schoolwide literary magazine, PRES, several times a year; its "editorial board" is made up of 5th graders.
