Summary

Hudson Junior High School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Hudson City School District in New York. With 376 students, the school consistently ranks in the bottom 25% of New York middle schools, significantly underperforming state averages on academic assessments across all grade levels and subjects.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($30,817 in 2023-2024) and having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10:1, Hudson Junior High School has failed to show any meaningful improvement in its academic performance over the past 5 years. In contrast, nearby middle schools like Linden Avenue Middle School and Ichabod Crane Middle School rank in the top 50% of New York middle schools and significantly outperform Hudson Junior High School on state assessments.

The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (61.7% in 2023-2024) at Hudson Junior High School suggests that broader socioeconomic and community-level factors may be contributing to the school's challenges. Despite having adequate resources, the school has struggled to effectively serve its diverse student population, with subgroups like female students, male students, and students from various racial and ethnic backgrounds all performing in the bottom 25-50% of New York middle schools.
