Summary

Mulready Elementary is a small PK–4 school in Hudson, MA, serving 249 students in a district that ranks 236th of 351 in Massachusetts. On its own, Mulready ranked 442nd of 899 Massachusetts schools in 2025-26 (51st percentile, 3 stars), above its district's standing and near the state median. In 2025-26, 41.25% of students met proficiency in ELA and 45.57% in math, compared with district averages of 28.03% ELA and 28.18% math and state averages of 40.03% ELA and 41.11% math — well above the district and slightly to moderately above the state. The school's rank history has been volatile: 27th percentile in 2015-16, 64th–65th percentile in 2017-18 and 2018-19, a 67th-percentile peak in 2024-25, and 51st percentile in 2025-26.

Two features set Mulready apart from nearby schools: a student-teacher ratio of 8.8 (2024-25), the lowest in the comparison group, and per-student spending of $21,596 (2020-21), the highest. Those resource advantages don't translate directly into top-tier results. Performance is sharply split by grade: in 2025-26, 4th grade scored 55.26% in ELA and 63.16% in math, far above state, while 3rd grade scored 28.57% in ELA and 29.27% in math, well below state. Because Mulready tests only grades 3 and 4, that gap pulls the overall numbers in both directions. Effectiveness for students with disabilities has been a relative strength — 90th percentile in 2024-25 and 65th percentile in 2025-26 — and English learner effectiveness reached the 91st percentile in its one reported year.

Forest Avenue Elementary, the other Hudson elementary, is the closest peer: similar overall results, with Forest slightly ahead in 2025-26 and Mulready ahead in 2024-25. C A Farley trailed far behind in 2025-26 (21.60% ELA, 22.84% math, 15th percentile). Mulready also outperforms the Marlborough schools and Green Meadow in Maynard, but trails Berlin Memorial School, Center School, and Florence Sawyer School. Note that spending and staffing figures come from different years.
