Schools in Needham are some of the best in Massachusetts. In fact, aside from the great schools that are already built in the area, a new school is set to rise soon on Central Ave.--the Sunita L. Williams Elementary School. This school is now being built by the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) in partnership with the Town of Needham to replace the Hillside School. It will open in September 2019.
The construction of a new classroom wing at Needham High School is also underway to address the over capacity of the school, which is seen to reach a population of 1,080 by 2023.
