Do you need a laptop for middle school?

Yes they should atleast have A computer or laptop in their house, as well as a printer. Most teachers in middle school will expect printed, good copies of writing. I would suggest getting your own (I would get a HP or DELL) because then you can bring it to school and you do not have to fight over it between your parents or siblings. Keep in mind that if you get your own, it comes with responsibilitie, but those will loosen over the years with your laptop.
