Ned Bigby
Ned Bigby (played by Devon Werkheiser) is the main protagonist, who speaks to the viewer and created his school survival guide after being embarrassed when accidentally walking into the girls' bathroom in kindergarten. He often gets into trouble with his closest friends Moze and Cookie. Ned is a smart kid, but he is also very lazy. Most of the time he scores below average, although he is perfectly capable of getting straight A's when he works seriously. He usually tries to find the easiest way to solve any personal problem, even if it is not necessarily the moral or logical way. Because of this, his plans sometimes backfire, but it teaches him lessons that he includes in the guide. Since he was eight years old, his dream girl has been Suzie Crabgrass. In the series finale, he and Moze start dating. He usually turns to Gordy, the school's janitor, for advice.
Jennifer "Moze" Mosley
Jennifer Ann Mosely (played by Lindsey Shaw) is Ned and Cookie's tomboyish best friend. Jennifer goes by the name of "Moze", a nickname created by Ned to differentiate from the other three "Jennifers" in their first grade class. In the first season, a recurring theme is her trying to break away from Ned and Cookie in the hope of finding a girl to be friends with. She eventually becomes best friends with former enemy Suzie Crabgrass. Moze is a volleyball player, has set the most school records, including one for the most school records, and shows exceptional talent in woodshop. She is the one Ned and Cookie typically come to for favors. She is a very good student, who most teachers trust. In "Double Dating and The Last of Day of School", she kisses Ned at a dance and a romance is hinted at. In the finale, they begin dating.
Simon "Cookie" Nelson-Cook
Simon Nelson-Cook (played by Daniel Curtis Lee) is Ned's other best friend who goes by the nickname "Cookie". He is a cybernerd who often uses his extensive technological knowledge to help himself and his friends. He has a motherboard in his locker, his pants double as a printer and his glasses are a computer display. Occasionally, Cookie takes on a female persona named Simone, usually in order to obtain information or get into parties. This disguise fools everyone save for Ned and Moze, because they knew about it beforehand. Cookie becomes infatuated with Lisa Zemo in season 3 after she undergoes a complete makeover. In the finale, Cookie, after countless attempts to ask her out, finally succeeds.
Gordy
Gordy (played by Daran Norris; recurring, season 1; main, seasons 2–3) is Polk's incompetent daytime janitor and a former Polk student. While he often assists Ned, Moze and Cookie with their various schemes, he's obsessed with capturing a weasel living in the school. More often than not, he'll dismiss any actual work for the night janitor. He was once a dance instructor in the past, and went to law school three times. In Episode 20 of the Neds Declassified Podcast, creator Scott Fellows reveals that he and Daran Norris had created a backstory for Gordy, that he was a trust-fund baby who couldn’t hold down a job and was obsessed with playing golf. His father told Gordy he would lose access to the trust fund if he didnt have a job. Therefore Gordy got his janitorial position at Polk Middle School, ten minutes from the nearest golf course, to appease his father while still living a relatively carefree lifestyle as the kooky janitor.

Mr. Monroe
Mr. Monroe (played by Jim J. Bullock; main, season 1; recurring, seasons 2–3) is the Life Science teacher, as well as overseer of the Sewing Club and the boys' basketball team. Monroe appears primarily in the first season. He returns in "School Newspaper", saying that he was "living with the penguins" for a year, and only recurs in seasons 2 and 3.
Supporting
The Weasel
The Weasel is a weasel (actually a ferret) that runs around the school since the series began due to an untidy student's locker, hinting that the weasel may have been that student's pet. Gordy wants to capture this weasel and has used numerous traps in the series and failed. In one episode, Gordy successfully captures the weasel, but after finding a robot that heads straight towards it, Gordy shows remorse and releases the weasel (and ends up being harmed by the robot). In "Elections," the weasel was elected Class President. In the episode "Recycling," the weasel wins the school's recycling contest after stealing the reusable materials collected by everyone else to use for a nest, including Ned's Guide. The weasel and Gordy end up having a liking to each other at the end of the series, especially since, in the series finale, it is shown that the weasel is actually a female when she is shown nursing new weasel pups.
Students
Suzie Crabgrass
Suzie Crabgrass (Christian Serratos) is Ned's longtime crush and Moze's rival at every sport and club, but she becomes her best friend. Having ended up dating Billy Loomer for a short time at the beginning of season 2, in season 3 she begins to develop a crush on Ned, and they start dating in the episode "Popularity & Stressin' Out". She leaves temporarily in the third season episode "Hallways & Friends Moving" but comes back in "Tests & When You Like Someone That is Going Out with Someone Else". She was Ned's dream girl since she was eight. In the series finale, she hopes at first that she and Ned will be together, but then decides to date Loomer after seeing his change and because Ned started to like Moze instead.
Billy Loomer
Billy Loomer (Kyle Swann), usually referred to simply as Loomer, is the leader of a trio of bullies at Polk Middle School and he is the main antagonist of the show. He and his bully friends enjoy picking on kids all throughout the school, especially Ned, Cookie, and Coconut-Head, and he hates the Killer Bees and the Huge Crew. For much of the series, he is dating Suzie Crabgrass, but he wants to break up with her so he can date Moze. He also has a crush on Cookie's alter ego Simone and is impressed by her knowledge of sports and automotive mechanics. At the end of the series, he changes from a violent bully into a kind, respectable, well-mannered young man. His name is a parody of Billy Loomis from the film Scream.
Jerry Crony
Jerry Crony (Teo Olivares) is one of Billy Loomer's best friends, who aids him in his bullying, with a penchant for fashion design that he tries to deny whenever he is seen in the school's sewing club. He is usually very nice and well-behaved when he is not around Loomer. He tries to ask Missy Meany out a few times over the course of the series but always fails due to his messy hair and clothes.
Buzz Rodriguez
Buzz Rodriguez (Recci Canon) is one of Loomer's friends. He almost never speaks; Loomer even states that he has never spoken the entire time they have known each other. He talks for the first time in the episode "The Library and Volunteering,", stating that the reason he had never spoken before was that everything up until that point had been fine, so he felt no need to talk.
Missy Meany
Missy Meany (Carlie Casey) is a pretty, very popular school cheerleader. She turns out to be a nasty, conceited person who cheats at most anything and will stop at nothing to get her way. Starting in season 3, she develops an obsessive crush on Ned. After finding out that Ned will not return her feelings for him, she goes out with Jerry Crony in the finale. She also has two very tall bodyguards, who she cheerfully calls her collection team or more commonly, her "Missy Buddies." In "School Clubs" she rips off Ned's school survival guide with a club called the Missy's Declassified School Survival Manual Club, writing "Helpful Hints", which are really terrible ways to survive school and become popular.
Coconut Head
Coconut Head (Rob Pinkston) is an often-ridiculed dorky friend of Ned, Moze, and Cookie, and a common bullying-target of Billy Loomer's violent gang. His real name is never revealed. His nickname is based on his hairdo, which looks like a coconut. As revealed in “Dodgeball”, he gets chronic nose bleeds, and has been getting them ever since he was three, which is no big deal. In multiple episodes it is shown that he is a talented free throw shooter at basketball. It is revealed that he has an operatic singing voice in the episode "Electives". In the episode "Valentine's Day," he is in love with the Huge Crew.
Martin Qwerly
Martin Qwerly (Tylor Chase) is another geeky friend of Ned, Cookie, and Moze. He is extremely optimistic and is always seen talking, usually insanely fast. People usually cover his mouth during his fast-talks or put up a cardboard cutout of themselves next to him and leave. He is the class vice-president. In the episode "Video Projects" he pretends to be a ninja and is caught on video, causing him to become a laughingstock until Ned and Cookie add special effects and voiceover narration into the video, making him popular. His name is a pun of the phrase "smart and squirrelly" as seen in the episode "Project Partners."
Claire Sawyer
Claire Sawyer (Brooke Marie Bridges) is a student at Polk who aspires to be a future lawyer. She often introduces herself by saying, "Claire Sawyer, future lawyer." Usually when she introduces herself in this manner to one of the three main characters, most commonly in season 1, they remind her that they have all known her since pre-kindergarten. She is always seen wearing a business suit. She appears when one of the characters needed consulting or if they needed help with something that seems like a legal issue. Her leitmotif parodies the first few notes of Symphony No. 5 by Ludwig van Beethoven.
Lisa Zemo
Lisa Zemo (Rachel Sibner) is a geeky and good-natured friend of Ned, Cookie, and Moze who undergoes a complete makeover in season 3 of the show. She is allergic to many things, including cats, dogs, trees, nuts, and rap videos that exploit women. Because of her chronic allergies in seasons 1 and 2, she is almost always seen carrying a bottle of nasal spray. She had a crush on Cookie, who finds her creepy before her makeover but vies for her attention after it, competing with several boys. She temporarily reverts to her old self in "Spring Fever". She is the class treasurer.
The Huge Crew
The Huge Crew, a girl group of bullies in the school, is led by Doris Trembley (Jennifer Tedmori), along with Katie (Cathy Immordino)[2] and Lakisha (Jherimi Carter).[3] They strongly dislike Billy Loomer and his friends, and they are insanely obsessed with Ned.

In another episode, "Revenge", Backpack Boy gets revenge on Spencer for stealing his crush, Claire Sawyer.
Faymen Porchin
Faymen Porchin (Vinicius Machado) is Moze's crush and later boyfriend in the third season until the episode "When You Like Someone Who is Going Out with Someone Else", in which he leaves to play professional soccer in Brazil. His name is a play on the phrase "fame and fortune." When he kisses Moze, Moze feels nothing and says there is no spark, unlike Moze's kiss with Ned.

His favorite food is steak, which he likes medium rare.

Evelyn finally stopped harassing Cookie and started dating Seth (who miraculously became smarter after spending time with her) in the episode "Tests".

They always dress in yellow and black, and tend to quickly spell-out insults at people. Their only appearances were "Spelling Bees" and "Best Friends".

Later on in the series, they ask Cookie to be part of their group, but this was only so they could have their math grades changed.
Mike Grudzielanek
Mike Grudzielanek (Joseph Ruzer) is a student who is a jock and in the choir who is first seen in season 2. In "Upperclassmen", he and his friends (except Jock Goldman) beat up Ned throughout most of the episode for falsely spraying soda in their faces, taking away their pants and stepping on the wolf logo when it was actually Palmer Noid who harassed them. It is implied that he might play basketball and football, and he is best friends with Seth and Paul. It is also implied that he got left back a year because he is seen with Jock Goldman and when Ned, Moze and Cookie reach the eighth grade, he is still seen in middle school.
Doug Secksay
Doug Secksay (Paul Diaz) is a seemingly popular male student, who always goes surrounded by girls who like him. His face is unseen, since the girls cover him completely.

His last name is a pun on the word "Sexy".
Palmer Noid
Palmer Noid (Cameron Monaghan) is a pesky redheaded fifth grader who later becomes a student in season 3. He is commonly known as the "kid who takes pants." His last name is both a reference and an allusion to The Noid mascot from Domino's Pizza.

In the episode, "Double-Dating," he asks Moze to a dance. To see if he truly likes her, Ned, Cookie and Gordy put Jock through a lie-detector test. Jock truthfully states he no longer has feelings for Amy Cassidy and likes Moze, prompting Moze to agree to go out with him. However, at the dance, Jock sees Ned accidentally kiss Moze, believing she was Suzie, and leaves her so Ned and Moze can be together. In the aforementioned lie-detector test, Jock also reluctantly admitted to Ned, Moze, Cookie and Gordy that he once got the runs after eating bad roast beef.

Faculty/Staff
Mr. Sweeny
Mr. Sweeney (Don Creech) is a science teacher at Polk. Many of the students, especially Ned, think he is evil. He is often seen as the show's antagonist. He seems to have a large disliking for Ned due to his lazy nature but obvious intelligence. In the series finale, as an "early graduation present," he helps Ned when Ned is trying to hide from Vice Principal Crubbs. After Crubbs leaves, Mr. Sweeney says to Ned that Ned will be remembered as one of his worst students, but also as one of his favorites. He is always seen wearing a white lab coat.
Vice Principal Harvey Crubbs
Vice Principal Harvey Crubbs (Hamilton Mitchell) is the vice principal, an exaggerated spoof of Miami Vice. The name "Crubbs" is an amalgam of the two main Miami Vice characters, "Crockett" and "Tubbs." Crubbs is always keeping an eye on Ned. He is obsessed with flamingos, mini powdered donuts, and sunglasses. He states to Ned in "Career Day" that he did not want to be a vice-principal as a teenager, but actually wanted to be a vice-cop in Miami. He took the job as vice-principal as a way to help the kids at school stop themselves from getting to bad places, and because it still has vice in the title. He is one of the show's main antagonists (along with Mr. Sweeney). He has three catchphrases. One is "Crubbs out!", which he says when he leaves. He is also known to tell people "you're fired!," usually said to Gordy, although he never actually means it. A third is when he tells people that he will be watching them "like this," followed by putting his sunglasses on in various ways. In one episode, when vying for the position of principal, he tricks all the people looking to interview for the position and locks them in a room, until Principal Pal knocks him out and puts him in the trap room. Principal Wright becomes principal. In "Lost and Found," he is discovered to steal things from the lost and found and put them in a special room to keep, including Moze's "puppy bear" she lost when she was young and Cookie's MP3 that contains a recording of his "Cowboy Cookie" song.

Her students, including Cookie, seem to fear her in the "Math" episode due to her overly harsh attitude, but when Cookie suggests that math class should be more fun, she changes her rigorous ways and becomes friendlier to her students. She has a Russian accent and loves romance novels. She has a crush on Gordy, who she refers to as "handsome cleaning man," and is shown to want to date him despite Gordy not reciprocating. In one episode, she was revealed to have won bronze medals in Greco-Roman Wrestling and Luge, and is shown on a cereal box with a hammer and sickle on it.
