Summary:
The city of Hudson, Massachusetts has 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school. The data reveals that the Mulready Elementary school stands out with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grades, as well as the lowest student-teacher ratio. Forest Avenue Elementary also performs well, with the second-highest proficiency rates, particularly in Mathematics. While the elementary schools excel, the Hudson High school has the highest graduation rate and lowest dropout rate among the schools in the data set.
The schools in Hudson maintain relatively consistent performance over the years, with minor fluctuations in their statewide rankings and proficiency rates. However, the middle and high school proficiency rates, especially in Mathematics, are lower than the state averages, suggesting an opportunity for the district to focus on improving outcomes at the higher grade levels. The differences in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools may indicate variations in resource allocation within the district, which could be further analyzed to optimize support for student learning.
Overall, the Hudson school district has some strong-performing elementary schools, but there is room for improvement, especially at the middle and high school levels. Analyzing the factors contributing to the standout schools' success and replicating those practices across the district could help raise the overall performance of the schools and ensure equitable outcomes for all students.
