my daughter is going into 7th grade, so she got supply list off the internet (she's anxious) and it said 4 composition note books, I really don't think she needs that many. What do you think?

She need'll need all those notebooks - one per subject - to begin with. I actually needed more, but I had extra subjects.
Another option is to get a thick notebook with dividers. A notebook with dividers is slightly cheaper to begin with (depending on the brand it can actually be more costly), but soon turns into a mess as some sections are filled and others aren't. New books are needed sooner and in the long run this is both more expensive and a huge disorganised mess.
I've found having four notebooks was great to begin with, and then just buying more when needed as they filled up was both cheaper and easier to work with. And being organised like that means it's easier to revise and learn, too ^_^.
If you're still worried, most schools have an individualised preset list available for those who aren't sure; that suits that school. These usually take into consideration other things as well (for example Mathematics might require a normal book plus a grid book). You could always try enquiring with the school.

She Most Likely Does Need Them.
Most Classes In Middle School And Up
Want A Notebook For Each Class.
So Just Buy Them For Her. =]
And If.. [And That's A Big If]..
She Doesn't Need It
She'll Most Likely Need Them
In The Middle Of The School Year.
Alot Of Students Use Up Most Of
Their Notebooks, And End Up Needing More.

If her list specified 4, then she needs 4. No offense, but it's not really up to us parents the amount of supplies they need. Teachers and school administrators are the only ones qualified to make that decision. And in order to make their school experience as simple as possible, it's our responsibility to provide what's on the list.

If it's on the list...then it's needed. Many teachers want students to have a separate notebook for each class

Yes, infact, I think she isn't prepared at all.
Send her back to Kindergarten right away.
