Summary

Hudson Middle in Lufkin, TX, is a high-performing public school serving 681 students in grades 6-8 as part of the top-ranked Hudson Independent School District (Isd), consistently earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past decade.

Hudson Middle stands out dramatically from nearby schools, especially in math and reading. In 6th-grade math, 66.82% of students are proficient—nearly double the state average of 38.57% and far ahead of Lufkin Middle (34.50%) and Diboll J H (27.36%). The school is exceptional at preparing students for advanced coursework, with a staggering 98.46% of students passing the Algebra I End-of-Course exam, compared to the state average of 54.03%. Reading proficiency is also strong, with 75.68% of 8th graders proficient versus 58.69% statewide and 45.56% at Lufkin Middle. The school has a near-zero dropout rate (0.0%), contrasting with Lufkin Middle (1.4%) and Central J H (0.4%).

What makes Hudson Middle truly remarkable is its ability to achieve top results despite over half of its students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. The school ranks in the 91st percentile for effectiveness with economically disadvantaged students—higher than its overall 89th percentile ranking. It has also shown a powerful turnaround for special education and English language learners, with rankings jumping from the 60th to 87th percentile and 76th to 89th percentile, respectively. The school spends $9,626 per student—less than Lufkin Middle ($10,609) and Diboll J H ($11,244)—yet achieves far superior outcomes. One area for improvement is 8th-grade social studies, where only 34.39% of students are proficient, slightly above the state average but well behind Dr Terry Robbins Middle (44.74%).
