Summary

Hudson Memorial School is a public middle school serving 648 students in grades 6–8 in the suburban town of Hudson, near Nashua, New Hampshire. Part of the Hudson School District, it has a 12:1 student-teacher ratio and ranks 76th out of 138 New Hampshire middle schools, placing it near the middle statewide. The school’s current standing is lower than its unusually strong 2024–25 result, but it remains well above nearby Nashua schools.

Academic results are mixed. In 2025–26, 52% of students were proficient in reading, compared with 39% in mathematics and 33% in science. Reading is the school’s strongest overall subject, although results vary sharply by grade: seventh-grade reading proficiency was 64%, while eighth-grade reading was 45%. Mathematics improves across the grades, from 35% in sixth grade to 41% in eighth grade, with eighth-grade performance slightly above the state average. Science is the clearest concern, falling from 42% proficiency in 2024–25 to 33% this year. Hudson Memorial trails nearby suburban schools such as Litchfield Middle School, Pelham Memorial School, and Londonderry Middle School, but outperforms schools in the Nashua School District. It is well below the results of Windham Middle School and the Academy for Science and Design Charter (M).

For families, the main takeaway is that Hudson Memorial offers a solid middle-of-the-local-market option, with manageable class sizes and a more economically diverse student population than many nearby suburban schools. The school’s recent gains in math, reading, and science were not fully sustained, so continued improvement will depend on strengthening science instruction, supporting sixth-grade math, and addressing the large eighth-grade reading drop. Special education effectiveness is another persistent area to monitor, ranking in the 29th percentile statewide. Overall, the school is neither a regional high performer nor a low-performing outlier; it sits between the strongest suburban schools and the lower-ranked Nashua-area schools.

What people are saying

by a student
Sunday, June 26, 2011

I came to this school the beginning of the school year and I think it is an amazing school. The administrators are great at there job and yes they take care of issues if you indeed have one. This school is very safe . I went to a Nashua middle school last year and there was alot of violence and knife fights and it was a very unsafe environment but this school is very good at making sure there is no violence going on. It does happen a little bit but everyone involved does get consequences. I think the only problem is some kids are highly rude. And many students could vouch for me on that point. But it happens in all middle schools. If your hesitating on whether or not to send you child here I say yes because its a safe environment and has a great staff member body. Dont listen to all the negative reviews on here because people will NOT take the time to write a good review about schools but they find time to trash this school and that's not right. Close Quote
