Summary:
Zip code 54016 is home to two high schools serving grades 9–12, both part of the Hudson School District and both listed at 1501 Vine St in Hudson: Hudson High, a large comprehensive high school with 1,697 students, and Hudson Virtual Charter School, a virtual option with just 12 students. Together they enroll 1,709 high-schoolers, with Hudson High making up 99.3% of that total.
Hudson High is the academic anchor here. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate of 96.9% is above the state's 92.0%, and its dropout rate of 0.0% compares well with the state's 1.1%. ACT proficiency is a clear strength: in 2025–2026 it reached 62.02 in English Language Arts, 60.66 in Mathematics and 57.38 in Science, all far above state figures of 48.47, 42.93 and 43.20. Social Studies is the exception — 45.97, below both the district's 46.11 and the state's 48.25, after an 11.02-point one-year drop. Chronic absenteeism, at 21.0%, is higher than the district's 11.9% and the state's 17.3%, and the school's latest rank is 107 of 533 (80th percentile, 4 stars), down from 49 of 431 (89th percentile) the year before.
Hudson Virtual Charter School reports a 0.0% dropout rate and 0.0% chronic absenteeism, better than district and state figures — but with only 12 students, those rates are fragile and can shift dramatically. It spends $6,717 per student versus $15,421 at Hudson High, and has a higher free/reduced lunch share (25% versus 13.49%). Graduation rate, test scores and student-teacher ratio are not listed, so its academics cannot be compared. The Hudson School District overall ranks 37 of 432, at the 91st percentile with 5 stars.
