Summary

Hudson Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 224 students in the Long Beach Unified district, located in a neighborhood with several other elementary schools for comparison.

Academically, Hudson's test scores are below the district and state averages, placing it in the lower-middle tier among nearby schools. It performs similarly to Roosevelt Elementary and Webster Elementary but trails higher-performing schools like Los Cerritos Elementary and Garfield Elementary. A major challenge is chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 38.4% that is significantly higher than most neighboring schools and the district average.

An interesting finding is that Hudson spends more per student—about $29,433—than nearly all comparable schools, yet this higher investment hasn't led to stronger academic results. Performance has been volatile from year to year, and there are notable differences in how well different groups of students perform. The school's small size may affect program offerings compared to larger schools like Muir K-8. Addressing attendance appears to be a critical area for potential improvement.
