Summary

Hudson Elementary in Longview, TX, is a public school serving 452 students in grades 1-5 and is part of the Longview Independent School District (Isd).

Hudson Elementary is a truly exceptional school, consistently ranked in the top 0.2% of all elementary schools in Texas for nearly a decade. Its academic performance is roughly double that of nearby schools in the same district. For example, in 4th grade reading, Hudson achieved a 99% proficiency rate, while nearby schools like Ned E Williams Elementary (34%) and J L Everhart Magnet Elementary (48%) lagged far behind. This pattern holds across math and science, with Hudson's 5th grade science proficiency at 90% compared to just 29% at Ned E Williams. Even when compared to top schools in other districts, like Birch Elementary (85th percentile) and Hallsville West Elementary (75th percentile), Hudson's performance is in a league of its own.

What makes Hudson Elementary particularly remarkable is its ability to achieve outstanding results for all students, including those who typically face the greatest challenges. The school is ranked #1 in the state for special education students and #2 for students from low socio-economic status. This success is not driven by higher spending; in fact, Hudson spends less per student ($11,347) than several lower-performing district peers. The only area where the school shows slightly less strength is with its gifted and talented students, suggesting a potential opportunity for more specialized enrichment. Overall, Hudson Elementary is a "pocket of excellence" that demonstrates how a strong school culture and effective instruction can produce extraordinary outcomes, regardless of a student's background.
