Summary:

The 12839 zip code area is home to 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school, all part of the Hudson Falls Central School District. While the district is ranked 715 out of 874 in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, a few schools stand out in the area.

Hudson Falls High School is ranked 829 out of 1,234 New York high schools, with a 2-star rating. It has a 84.3% four-year graduation rate and a 4.5% dropout rate, performing below the state average on most Regents exams, except for English Language Arts (72.05% proficient) and Earth Science (70.23% proficient). Hudson Falls Middle School, ranked 1,145 out of 1,500 New York middle schools with a 1-star rating, also performs below the state average on most New York State Assessments, except for 7th grade Math (49.55% proficient) and 8th grade Living Environment (74.7% proficient). In contrast, Hudson Falls Intermediate School, ranked 1,536 out of 2,445 New York elementary schools with a 2-star rating, performs better than the district and state averages on some 4th and 5th grade New York State Assessments.

The schools in the Hudson Falls Central School District generally have relatively high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 20.87% at the Margaret Murphy Kindergarten Center to 46.6% at the Hudson Falls Primary School. The district spends between $14,920 and $17,635 per student, which is in line with the state average, but the outcomes do not seem to reflect the level of investment, with the high school and middle school particularly struggling in terms of rankings and proficiency rates compared to the state.
