Hudson

Hudson, MA has five schools: three elementary schools serving grades PK–4, one middle school serving grades 5–7, and one high school serving grades 8–12, together enrolling 2,322 students, with the Hudson district ranked 236 of 351 districts statewide — the 33rd percentile, 2 stars. School ranks are assigned within school type, so an elementary school's percentile is not directly comparable to the high school's.

Results vary widely inside the district. Forest Avenue Elementary posts all-grade ELA of 42.11 and math of 47.37, both above district and state; Mulready Elementary follows at 41.25 and 45.57, with the highest grade-level marks in the list (4th grade ELA 55.26, math 63.16). Hudson High is the highest-ranked Hudson school at 122 of 353 (65th percentile, 3 stars), with strong 10th grade results and an 88.7% graduation rate. C A Farley is the lowest-performing (765 of 899, 15th percentile, 1 star), with ELA of 21.60 and math of 22.84, down sharply from 42.94 and 30.06 a year earlier. David J. Quinn Middle School sits at the 27th percentile with weak ELA (25.05) and math (23.58) but standout science (46.15), above district and state.

Parents should note the size of the divide: the elementary ELA gap between Forest Avenue and C A Farley is 20.51 percentage points, and the math gap is 24.53 points. Spending doesn't track outcomes neatly — Mulready has the highest per-student spending ($21,596) and lowest student–teacher ratio (8.8) and performs well, while C A Farley spends $19,829 and has the highest ratio (10.5) with the lowest results. Free/reduced lunch data is blank for every school, elementary science is not listed, spending figures are from 2020–2021, and year-to-year swings have been large, so single-year changes should be read cautiously.
