Needwood teachers utilize Visible Learning strategies to help students monitor their own progress. Advanced students can leave middle school with high school credit in math, Spanish, STEM, science, and graphic design. Students who take advantage of this opportunity can graduate from high school early and enroll in college early through the "Move on When Ready" program.

Each month, six students are recognized as Ultimate Warriors. These students are recognized on the morning announcements and are given incentives. All students who demonstrate appropriate behavior are given incentives throughout the year. Students who choose to misbehave are given consequences as well as instruction on expected behavior.

Our school leaders are positive instructional role models. They care about students, faculty, and staff, and they look for ways to involve parents in their students' learning.

All teachers differentiate instruction for students based on learning style, language differences, and learning disabilities. Students who need extra support are given opportunities to develop skills by attending morning and after-school tutoring sessions and/or enrichment classes.

Students are expected to be respectful, responsible, and ready both in and outside classrooms. These expectations are regularly taught. Students who are disrespectful to others are given additional learning opportunities. Students often prevent bullying by reporting conflicts to teachers and counselors, so the vast majority of conflicts between students are resolved. In accordance with district policy, students who do not respond to these interventions are given serious consequences.

I think the principal is really trying to make the school a better learning environment than it was. The school has gotten better. Some of the teachers I have met actually do care, there has been a couple that could be there more for the students.

The principal is the best, He is involved with the students and cares about their grades and how they perform at school. Very dedicated. The teachers are there to help the students, staying after school on certain days to help those who need assistance with school work

I love the reviews of parents claiming the schools have failed their children, yet there are numerous typos and bad grammar! Parents should be the number one educators of children. It starts at home... Think about it.

This school was awful,my daughter attended all three years there and all they did was talk about high expectations for the students.And in return could not control the classrooms.The higher standards for the teachers is what they should of been talking about .The Principal was unaware of anything,the Guidance Counselors were helpless anytime you had questions no one new the answers.There were so many incidents at this school.I feel like they left my child behind she said they didn't teach her anything and if you look at their recent scores they didn't teach nuch to other students as well.2009-2010
