Summary:
The Hudson Falls Central School District consists of 5 schools serving grades K-12, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves the Hudson Falls area and faces challenges in ensuring consistent academic achievement across all grade levels.
While some schools in the district, such as Hudson Falls Middle School and Hudson Falls High School, show areas of strong academic performance, the elementary schools struggle, with proficiency rates well below the state averages on the 3rd and 4th grade ELA and Math assessments. The high school also faces concerns with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1%, which may be contributing to its lower academic performance compared to the middle school.
Across the district, there are high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 25.1% at the Margaret Murphy Kindergarten Center to 47.47% at the Hudson Falls Intermediate School, indicating a high level of economic need among the student population. Addressing these equity concerns and the high chronic absenteeism rates may be key focus areas for the district moving forward.
