Summary

Hudson High School in Lufkin, TX, is a 4-star rated school serving 783 students in grades 9-12 as part of the highly-rated Hudson Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 81st percentile statewide. This school stands out for its consistent academic excellence, with a near-perfect graduation rate of 98.8% and an exceptionally low dropout rate of 0.2% for the 2023-2024 school year. Students here significantly outperform state averages on core STAAR End-of-Course exams, with proficiency rates of 83% in Biology, 72% in English I, 75% in English II, and 80% in U.S. History, compared to state averages that are 10-20 percentage points lower.

When compared to nearby schools, Hudson High School is a clear academic leader. It ranks in the 75th percentile statewide, far surpassing Lufkin High School (32nd percentile), Central High School (43rd percentile), and Diboll High School (62nd percentile). Only Pineywoods Community Academy High School (87th percentile) outperforms it, but Hudson serves a larger, more diverse student body with a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students (46%), making its achievements particularly noteworthy. The school also demonstrates efficient spending, with a per-student cost of $10,949, lower than Lufkin High School ($12,700) and Diboll High School ($11,967).

One interesting finding is that Hudson High School has a persistent weakness in Algebra I, with only 37% of students proficient compared to 83% in Biology, which is well below the state average of 54%. This suggests a need for targeted curriculum review. Additionally, while the school has maintained a 4-star rating for a decade, its statewide ranking has slightly declined from the 84th percentile in 2018-2019 to the 75th-82nd percentile range in recent years. Despite this, the school excels in supporting key student groups, including Hispanic and Gifted & Talented students, both earning 4-star ratings, and it provides a stark contrast to alternative schools like the Stubblefield Learning Center in Lufkin ISD, which has a 38.3% graduation rate and a 28% dropout rate.
