Summary:
Hudson School District in western Wisconsin enrolls roughly 4,800 students across nine schools — six elementary schools, one middle school, and two high schools, one of which is a virtual charter — and ranks 37th of 432 Wisconsin districts, in the 91st percentile with a 5-star rating.
The strongest results are at the elementary level. Houlton Elementary ranks 8th of 1,039 elementary schools (99th percentile, 5 stars), with Math 4th-grade proficiency at 96.67%, Science 4th grade at 90%, and the district’s lowest free/reduced lunch rate at 8.76%. North Hudson Elementary ranks 21st of 1,039 and has climbed from 260th to 85th to 21st over three years, posting ELA 4th grade at 97.56%. Hudson Prairie Elementary (82nd of 1,039) has the district’s lowest chronic absenteeism at 4.1%. Hudson Middle (53rd of 643) reports Social Studies 8th grade at 87.81%, with all reported subjects above state averages.
Hudson High ranks 107th of 533 (80th percentile, 4 stars) and posts a 96.9% graduation rate, a 0.0% dropout rate, and ACT 10th-grade results well above state averages — but chronic absenteeism is 21.0%, versus 11.9% for the district and 17.3% statewide, and Social Studies Forward 10th grade is 45.97%, slightly below the state’s 48.25%. Rock Elementary improved from 546th to 265th in one year, yet remains below district averages in every reported 2025–2026 test, including ELA 3rd grade at 62.69% versus 70.48% districtwide. Hudson Virtual Charter School, with just 12 students and no test-score data, is too small for meaningful comparison.
