While Hudson Elementary outperformed the Caldwell County Schools district and the state of North Carolina in several academic areas, including 3rd grade mathematics, 5th grade mathematics, and 5th grade science, its performance in 4th grade mathematics and reading was lower than the district and state averages. The school's statewide ranking has also steadily declined over the past several years, from 414 out of 1,473 North Carolina elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 631 out of 1,505 in 2023-2024, with a corresponding drop in its SchoolDigger star rating from 4 to 3. This decline may be attributed to the significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 49% in 2021-2022 to 71.71% in 2022-2023, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.
