Summary:
The city of Hudson Falls, New York is home to 6 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. The data reveals a concerning picture of academic performance challenges across the district, with several standout schools struggling to meet state standards.
Hudson Falls High School has a relatively high graduation rate of 82.2%, but a concerning dropout rate of 8.5%, both of which are below state averages. The school also significantly underperforms on standardized tests compared to the state. Similarly, Hudson Falls Middle School consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of New York middle schools and has much lower test scores than the state average. In contrast, Margaret Murphy Kindergarten Center stands out with a lower free/reduced lunch rate and lower spending per student than the other schools in the Hudson Falls Central School District.
Across the district, the schools in Hudson Falls have a predominantly white student population, ranging from 87.55% to 95.4% white students. This lack of diversity may indicate a need to address issues of equity and inclusion within the district. Additionally, the high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 25.1% to 47.47%, suggest that the student population faces significant socioeconomic challenges, which can impact academic performance. Addressing these issues will likely require a multifaceted approach, including targeted interventions, increased funding, and a focus on equity and inclusion within the Hudson Falls Central School District and the Washington-Saratoga-Warren-Hamilton-Essex BOCES.
