Summary:
ZIP code 01749 has just one middle school — David J. Quinn Middle School in Hudson, Massachusetts, serving grades 5 through 7 with 546 students — so families in this area have a single local middle-level option rather than a choice among schools.
Science is this school's clear strength. In 2025–2026, all-grade Science proficiency was 46.15%, above both the Hudson district rate of 38.16% and the state rate of 40.98%, and up more than 11 percentage points from 35.14% the year before. Fifth-grade Science, also 46.15%, topped the district and the state as well. ELA and Mathematics are the weaker areas: ELA proficiency was 25.05%, compared with 28.03% in the district and 40.03% statewide, while Mathematics was 23.58%, compared with 28.18% in the district and 41.11% statewide — a gap of about 17.5 points to the state. ELA fell 8.41 points year over year, though the district fell even further, and Mathematics dipped slightly while the district was roughly flat.
After two years near the 48th–49th percentile with 2 stars, the school dropped to the 27th percentile and 1 star in 2025–2026, tracking the ELA and Mathematics results despite the Science gain. Grade-level results show local bright spots: ELA was slightly above the district in grades 5, 6, and 7, and Mathematics was slightly above the district in grades 5 and 6, though every ELA and Mathematics grade remained below the state. Seventh grade posted the highest school ELA (29.22%) and Mathematics (25.97%) rates, while 6th-grade ELA was lowest at 21.28%. The student-teacher ratio is 9.9, per-student spending was $18,517 in 2020–2021 and should be treated as historical context, and the free/reduced-lunch percentage is unavailable in this data.
