Summary:
Hudson has one middle school in the data: David J. Quinn Middle School, a grades 5–7 school with 546 students on Manning Street, part of the Hudson district. The district is ranked 236 of 351, at the 33rd percentile with 2 stars. The school’s profile is mixed: science is a strength, while English language arts and mathematics are below state averages, and its statewide rank dropped sharply in 2025-2026.
In 2025-2026 MCAS Next Generation results, all-grades science proficiency was 46.15% at the school, above the district (38.16%) and Massachusetts (40.98%). All-grades ELA was 25.05% and mathematics was 23.58%, both well below district and state; state ELA was 40.03% and state math was 41.11%. The largest grade-level gaps were in Grade 6: ELA was 21.28% against a state average of 40.26%, and math was 23.53% against 42.59%. Grade 7 was comparatively stronger within the school, with ELA at 29.22% and math at 25.97%, though both remained below state. Grade 5 science was 46.15%, above district (44.57%) and state (43.07%).
Year over year, science improved by 11.01 points (from 35.14% to 46.15%), while the district rose 6.23 points and the state declined 0.53 points. ELA fell 8.41 points to 25.05%, compared with a district drop of 9.48 points and a state drop of 1.50 points; math slipped 1.42 points. The school’s rank moved from 249 of 484 in 2024-2025 (49th percentile, 2 stars) to 350 of 478 in 2025-2026 (27th percentile, 1 star), a decline of 101 positions and 22 percentile points. The student-teacher ratio is 9.9, per-student spending was $18,517 in 2020-2021, and free/reduced lunch was not reported. Science is the clear bright spot; ELA and math, especially in Grade 6, are the areas to watch.
