Summary

Hudlow Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 164 students in grades PK-5 in the Tucson Unified District in Tucson, Arizona. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population (55.49%), with significant percentages of White (28.05%) and African American (7.93%) students.

Despite its small size and relatively low student-teacher ratio, Hudlow Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in academic measures. The school ranks in the bottom half of Arizona elementary schools, with only 25% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts and Math, compared to 30% and 33% respectively for the district. Hudlow also struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10% of Arizona elementary schools for its performance with multi-racial, special education, and low socioeconomic status students. Neighboring schools like Wheeler Elementary and Bloom Elementary generally outperform Hudlow, and even nearby public charter schools like La Paloma Academy and Da Vinci Tree Academy tend to have higher academic performance.

With a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch (74.39%), Hudlow Elementary serves a high-need student population. However, the school's funding levels are higher than some of the higher-performing nearby schools, suggesting that additional resources alone are not the primary driver of the school's underperformance. Comprehensive school improvement efforts may be necessary to better support the academic achievement of Hudlow's students.

Hudlow is a great school. The teachers are very caring want to see the children learn. They communicate their concerns to you and will go the extra mile to see the children succeed. My child loves going to school each day. I love that he is learning to love to read. I wouldn't send him anywhere else. Close Quote
