The enviroment to learn and grow is great really pushes people to go out of their comfort zone and try their best. The only downside is that they are a lot of favoritism and some racism which they need to improve.

The best parts of attending Needville are the high standards of the school and the desire for excellence in all areas. I also enjoyed the athletic and choral department. My least favorite part about the school was the lack of intentionality from some of the teachers and staff with students. Kids who were bullied or not popular weren't really interacted with and in some cases even ignored by teachers.

It is a pretty good school. It is fairly small and secluded, there aren't many problems. Security is constantly being improved. Staff is very kind. Could put more focus on the arts.

We made the choice to move from Fort Bend ISD to Needville four years ago to try to get away from the big school pressure and haven't regretted that decision once. Even though there are still 250 students in my high schooler's class, the teachers know almost all the students. We have had several tea...

The students at Needvile are very well behaved and respectful - most parents are very supportive. The faculty are another story. While most are professional, there seems to be quite a bit of favortism and nepotism there. The school needs to focus more on other things besides winning the UIL District...
