Summary:
Hudson Memorial School is the only middle school in the Hudson School District, serving approximately 648 students in grades 6–8 in Hudson, New Hampshire. As a public middle school, it offers a relatively favorable 12:1 student-teacher ratio and has a free- or reduced-price lunch rate of 18.36%. Because it is the district’s only middle school, there are no other local middle schools to compare directly; the most useful comparisons are with district and New Hampshire results.
Academic performance at Hudson Memorial School is mixed. In 2025–2026, 52% of students were proficient in reading, 39% in mathematics, and 33% in science. These results were below statewide averages of 55%, 44%, and 38%, respectively, and also below overall Hudson School District results. The strongest area was 7th-grade reading, where 64% of students were proficient—7 points above the state average. Eighth-grade mathematics was another relative strength, slightly exceeding the state result. However, 6th-grade mathematics, 8th-grade reading, and especially 8th-grade science need attention. Reading varied considerably by grade, from 64% proficiency in 7th grade to 45% in 8th grade.
Recent trends are important for families to understand. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, proficiency declined by 2 points in mathematics, 5 points in reading, and 9 points in science. Science had previously been a strength, rising to 42% proficiency in 2024–2025 before falling to 33%. The school’s ranking and rating also improved in 2024–2025 but declined again in the latest reporting period, returning to a 2-star rating. Overall, Hudson Memorial School offers favorable staffing conditions and some strong grade-level results, but families should note uneven academic performance and the need for sustained improvement, particularly in science, early middle-school mathematics, and 8th-grade reading.
