Hudsonville High School

Summary:

Hudsonville High School is a public high school serving 1,513 students in grades 9-12 in Hudsonville, Michigan. The school is part of the Grandville Public Schools district, which is ranked 23 out of 610 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hudsonville High School consistently ranks among the top high schools in Michigan, with a statewide ranking between 39 and 124 over the past several years. The school maintains a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating excellent academic performance, and has consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 95.3% to 97.0% over the past five years, significantly higher than the state average. However, the school has a predominantly white student population, with only 5.29% Hispanic, 2.51% Asian, and 1.85% African American students. Despite this lack of racial diversity, Hudsonville High School performs exceptionally well for female and male students, as well as for Asian and African American student subgroups, ranking in the top 60 and 90 high schools in Michigan, respectively, for the 2023-2024 school year.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Zeeland West High School, Zeeland East High School, and Allendale High School, Hudsonville High School outperforms them in terms of academic performance, graduation rates, and student group outcomes. However, the school has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, from 10.7% in 2018-2019 to 16.4% in 2022-2023, which is an area of concern. Additionally, Hudsonville High School serves a relatively affluent student population, with only 12.03% to 16.14% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch over the past three years, which may have implications for resource allocation and support for economically disadvantaged students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
