Summary

David J. Quinn Middle School is a grades 5–7 school in Hudson, MA, with 546 students, part of the Hudson district. In 2025–2026, it is rated 1 star and ranked 350th of 478 schools (27th percentile), a sharp drop from 2024–2025, when it was 2 stars and ranked 249th of 484 (49th percentile). It once ranked 157th of 487 (68th percentile, 3 stars) in 2016–2017 and mostly hovered around the 41st–49th percentile from 2018–2019 to 2024–2025. The Hudson district ranks 236th of 351 districts statewide (33rd percentile, 2 stars).

Academically, ELA and math are the main concerns. In 2025–2026 MCAS Next Generation results, Quinn’s all-grade proficiency was 25.05% in English Language Arts and 23.58% in mathematics, below both the Hudson district (28.03% and 28.18%) and the state (40.03% and 41.11%). Science was a bright spot at 46.15%, above the district (38.16%) and state (40.98%), and higher than nearby Clinton Middle School (33.92%) and 1 LT Charles W. Whitcomb School (14.34%). Still, science trails higher-performing nearby schools such as Robert E. Melican Middle School (60.61%), The Bromfield Middle School (75.64%), and Raymond J Grey Junior High (80.54%). In ELA and math, Quinn is closer to Clinton Middle School and 1 LT Charles W. Whitcomb School than to higher-performing neighbors such as Fowler School, Luther Burbank Middle School, Hale, and The Bromfield Middle School, with gaps of roughly 43–53 points in some comparisons.

The school’s subgroup rankings show broad challenges: in 2025–2026, low socioeconomic status students ranked 392/461 (15th percentile, 1 star), English language learners 163/193 (16th percentile, 1 star), and students with disabilities 261/436 (40th percentile, 2 stars). Class size and spending do not offer a simple explanation: Quinn’s student-teacher ratio was 9.9 in 2024–2025, competitive with nearby high performers, and per-student spending was $18,517 in 2020–2021, above Clinton and Marlborough but below several higher-performing districts such as Sudbury, Southborough, and Nashoba. Overall, Quinn is a low-ranked school in a below-median district, with weak ELA and math, broad subgroup gaps, and science as its clearest relative strength.
