Great academics, good student culture, kind and caring teachers and good facilities. Sports are not so great but thats likely due to focus on academics
6/21/2025
The school has great academics and teachers, and many classes, however is a little too structured in terms of classes. I was unable to take AP classes as an underclassman, which I dislike. They should offer more AP classes
1/3/2025
Needham High is a great school. They set up for success across the board. We have the most sports available to us of any school in Mass. We get great support from teachers, even outside classrooms. The principal knows us by first name. I'd love to see a little more interaction with my counselor as I really find her helpful but only get to see her occassionally.
