Summary:

ZIP code 01749 covers Hudson, Massachusetts, where three PK–4 elementary schools serve a combined 992 students in the Hudson district: C A Farley, Forest Avenue Elementary, and Mulready Elementary. C A Farley is the largest with 474 students, followed by Forest Avenue (269) and Mulready (249). All three sit in the same district, which ranked 236 out of 351 statewide (33rd percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026.

Forest Avenue and Mulready are the higher-performing pair. Forest Avenue posted the strongest 2025–2026 overall rank — 404 of 899 (55th percentile, 3 stars) — with 42.11% proficient in ELA and 47.37% in math, both above the district (28.03% and 28.18%) and state (40.03% and 41.11%). Mulready ranked 442 of 899 (51st percentile, 3 stars) and shone in 4th grade: 55.26% ELA and 63.16% math, the highest single test result in this data. Grade-level patterns are uneven, though: Mulready is far stronger in 4th grade than 3rd, while Forest Avenue is the reverse in ELA, with 50.82% in 3rd grade but 32.08% in 4th.

C A Farley is the outlier on the low side. Its 2025–2026 rank fell to 765 of 899 (15th percentile, 1 star), down from 558 of 906 (38th percentile) the prior year, with ELA at 21.6% and math at 22.84% — below both district and state. Its ELA dropped more than 21 points in a single year, even though its 2024–2025 ELA (42.94%) was above the state. Mulready spends the most per student ($21,596) and has the smallest classes (8.8 students per teacher); Forest Avenue spends the least ($18,898) yet ranks best. Free/reduced-price lunch data is unavailable for all three schools, so these resource comparisons are suggestive rather than conclusive.
