Summary

Hudsonville High School is a large public high school in Hudsonville, MI, serving nearly 2,000 students in grades 9-12 as part of the highly-ranked Hudsonville Public School District.

This is a top-tier school with exceptional academic outcomes. In the 2025-2026 school year, Hudsonville ranked 104th out of 800 Michigan high schools, placing it in the top 15% statewide. Its 11th graders show remarkable college readiness: 71.8% are proficient in Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (EBRW) on the SAT—nearly 20 points above the state average and the highest among all comparable local schools, including Jenison High School (68.4%). Math proficiency is also strong at 42.9%, though Jenison holds a clear edge there (55.9%). The school's graduation rate is outstanding at 97.1%, far exceeding the state average of 84.0%, and its dropout rate of 0.9% is among the lowest in the area. Performance is consistent across subjects, with science and social studies proficiency rates also above state averages.

One thing to note: Hudsonville's state ranking dipped from 54th to 104th in a single year, but this doesn't reflect a decline in test scores—most remained stable or improved. This suggests the change is likely due to ranking methodology shifts rather than a drop in academic quality. A more genuine area of concern is chronic absenteeism, which sits at 16.7%. While better than the state average (27.9%), it's notably higher than nearby competitors like Zeeland East High School (7.9%) and Zeeland West High School (7.6%). The school also shows some volatility in subgroup performance year-over-year, but overall, Hudsonville delivers a well-rounded, high-quality education that prepares students exceptionally well for college and beyond.
