Summary

C A Farley is a PK–4 elementary school in Hudson, MA, serving 474 students as part of the Hudson district. In 2025–2026, it ranked 765th of 899 Massachusetts schools, placing it in the 15th percentile with 1 star—down from 558th of 906 (38th percentile, 2 stars) in 2024–2025. Its MCAS proficiency was 21.6% in English language arts and 22.84% in math, below Hudson district averages (28.03% ELA and 28.18% math) and far below state averages (40.03% ELA and 41.11% math).

Compared with nearby schools, C A Farley had the lowest ELA proficiency in the comparison group and the second-lowest math proficiency, above only Richer. Within the Hudson district, Forest Avenue Elementary (42.11% ELA, 47.37% math; 55th percentile, 3 stars) and Mulready Elementary (41.25% ELA, 45.57% math; 51st percentile, 3 stars) scored roughly 20 points higher in ELA and 23–25 points higher in math. The 2025–2026 decline was steep: ELA fell from 42.94% to 21.6% (a 21.34-point drop), while math fell from 30.06% to 22.84%, even as Hudson district math stayed nearly flat.

Grade 3 was especially weak: C A Farley’s Grade 3 ELA proficiency was 18.31% and Grade 3 math was 15.49%, compared with Hudson district rates of 31.46% and 28.25%. Grade 4 results were stronger but still below district and state. Subgroup effectiveness rankings were low for English language learners (3rd percentile) and low-SES students (6th percentile); special education improved to the 39th percentile. Despite a 10.5 student–teacher ratio and $19,829 per-student spending in 2020–2021—better than many nearby schools—outcomes in 2025–2026 were much lower, suggesting resources alone do not explain the gap.
