Summary:
The Hudson Independent School District (Isd) in Texas serves two high schools: Hudson High School, a large comprehensive school with 783 students, and Stubblefield Learning Center, a very small alternative campus for grades 10-12 with only 9 students. The district itself is highly rated, ranking in the 81st percentile among Texas school districts and earning a 4-star rating, though this performance is almost entirely driven by Hudson High School.
Hudson High School is the clear academic standout, consistently earning a 4-star rating and placing in the top 25% of Texas high schools. It boasts a 98.8% graduation rate and a remarkably low 0.2% dropout rate. The school significantly outperforms state averages in Biology (83.08% proficient), English I (71.9%), English II (75.13%), and U.S. History (80.11%). However, it underperforms in Algebra I, with only 37.35% proficiency compared to the state average of 54.03%, a decline from the previous year. In contrast, Stubblefield Learning Center serves a very different population, with a 66.67% free/reduced lunch rate and a 1.8:1 student-teacher ratio, indicating highly individualized instruction. Its graduation rate is 73.3%, and its dropout rate is 13.6%, with test score data only available for U.S. History, where proficiency is 33.33%.
The key takeaway for parents is the stark contrast between the two schools. Hudson High School offers a strong, traditional academic environment with excellent outcomes in most subjects, though math is a clear area needing improvement. Stubblefield Learning Center is a specialized alternative campus for students who have struggled in a traditional setting, providing a resource-intensive, small-class environment. The district's overall high ranking reflects Hudson's success, while Stubblefield plays a critical support role for at-risk students.
