Summary:

Hudson, MA 01749 is served by five public schools in the Hudson district — three elementary schools serving PK–4 (C A Farley, Forest Avenue Elementary, and Mulready Elementary), one middle school serving grades 5–7 (David J. Quinn Middle School), and one high school serving grades 8–12 (Hudson High), together enrolling 2,322 students. The district as a whole ranks 236th of 351 Massachusetts districts (33rd percentile, 2 stars) and scores below the state in all-grade ELA (28.03% vs. 40.03%) and math (28.18% vs. 41.11%).

Results vary widely by school. Forest Avenue Elementary (55th percentile, 3 stars) and Mulready Elementary (51st percentile, 3 stars) both beat state averages in all-grade ELA and math. Mulready posts the strongest single-grade results in the group — 4th-grade ELA at 55.26% and 4th-grade math at 63.16% — while Forest's 3rd-grade ELA reaches 50.82%. Hudson High has the highest school rank (122 of 353, 65th percentile, 3 stars) and is above state in 10th-grade ELA, math, and science, plus Biology end-of-course. C A Farley is the weakest, at 15th percentile and 1 star, with all-grade ELA of 21.60% and math of 22.84%.

The clearest district-wide weakness is the middle grades. David J. Quinn Middle School dropped to 27th percentile and 1 star, with ELA and math well below state, and Hudson High's 8th-grade scores are also below state even as its 10th-grade results are strong. Science is a relative bright spot: Quinn's all-grade science is 46.15% against the state's 40.98%. Note that free/reduced lunch data is unavailable for every school and spending figures date to 2020–2021, so equity comparisons are limited.
