Hudson

Summary:

Hudson Elementary is a public elementary school in Long Beach, California, serving 398 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Long Beach Unified School District, which has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Hudson shares the same district as other local schools, it faces significant challenges. The school has consistently lower academic performance compared to the district and state averages, with only 28.74% of students proficient in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 49.52% for the district and 47.04% for the state. Hudson also has a much higher chronic absenteeism rate of 39.9%, well above the 35.0% district average. Additionally, 67.34% of Hudson students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly low-income student population.

Interestingly, some nearby schools like Birney Elementary and Los Cerritos Elementary have significantly higher academic achievement, suggesting that there may be successful practices or strategies that could be replicated at Hudson. Despite the challenges, the data indicates that there is room for improvement at Hudson, and addressing factors like chronic absenteeism and socioeconomic status could be crucial for raising student outcomes.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
