Hudson Elementary School

Hudson Elementary School serves pre-K through grade 6 in Union City, NJ, in a nearby-school area that includes Hoboken, North Bergen and Weehawken. Its reported results are above the state and district in both tested ELA grades and in fourth-grade math, but third-grade math is a relative weakness. The clearest standout is fourth-grade math: 83% of students were proficient, compared with 47% statewide and 45% in the Union City School District, making Hudson the second-highest of eight nearby schools with results.

ELA is a consistent strength against state, district and nearby-school comparisons. Third-grade proficiency was 58%, versus 48% statewide and 41% in the district; fourth-grade proficiency was 53%, versus 46% statewide and 37% in the district. Hudson was also above nearby-school averages in both grades. By contrast, third-grade math was 47%, below the state’s 49% and the nearby-school average of 54%, though above the district’s 44%. The results show a sharp grade-to-grade contrast in math: fourth-grade math is exceptional, while third-grade math has the most ground to make up against nearby schools.

There is no earlier Hudson score or rank in the supplied data, so changes over time cannot be assessed. For 2025–26, SchoolDigger ranks Hudson 456th of 1,331 schools, at the 66th percentile with 3 stars; the district is at the 40th percentile with 2 stars. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking is notably higher for Low Socio Economic Status Students, at the 95th percentile—29 points above Hudson’s overall percentile—and for Hispanic Students, at the 90th percentile, 24 points higher; these are rankings of the school’s effectiveness for those groups, not rankings of students. The profile lists enrollment as 0 and provides no student-teacher ratio or 2024–25 free/reduced lunch eligible measure, so those fields cannot provide useful comparisons.
