Hudson Technical Alternative

Public, Virtual Grades 6-12

Summary

Hudson Technical Alternative is a public virtual high school serving grades 6-12 in Hudson, Michigan, with a student population of 170 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school is part of the Hudson Area Schools district, which is ranked 552 out of 606 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The data reveals that Hudson Technical Alternative is struggling academically, with significantly lower graduation rates (ranging from 13.6% to 46.9% over the past 5 years) compared to the 91.4% graduation rate at the nearby Hudson Area JRSR High School. The school also has high dropout rates, ranging from 0% to 17% over the past 5 years, much higher than the 5.7% dropout rate at Hudson Area JRSR High School. Additionally, Hudson Technical Alternative students perform significantly worse on state assessments, with only 12.1% of students proficient in SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, compared to 29.7% in the district and 52.2% statewide.

The school appears to be serving a more racially diverse and economically disadvantaged student population, with a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (20.59%) compared to the nearby Hudson Area JRSR High School (6.85%) and the state average, as well as a very high percentage of students (over 60%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests the school may need to provide more targeted academic and social-emotional interventions to support the success of its diverse and disadvantaged student population.
