Hudson

The Hudson school district in Massachusetts consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals that the elementary schools, particularly Forest Avenue Elementary and Mulready Elementary, are the strongest performers in the district, with significantly higher MCAS proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the middle and high school.

While Hudson High School has a 4-year graduation rate of 86.8%, which is slightly below the state average, it also has a higher dropout rate of 8.0% compared to the state average. The high school's MCAS proficiency rates are generally below the state averages, with the exception of 10th grade Science. In contrast, the elementary schools have MCAS proficiency rates that are well above the district and state averages.

The schools in Hudson appear to have relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $18,517 to $21,596, which is higher than the state average of around $16,000 per student. Additionally, the schools have low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 8.4 to 10.6 students per teacher, which is better than the state average of around 13 students per teacher. However, these investments in resources do not seem to be translating into commensurate improvements in student outcomes, particularly at the middle and high school levels.
