Best Public Schools in Zip Code 12534

Summary:

The 12534 zip code area in New York is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Hudson City School District. While Hudson High School shows relatively strong performance on Regents exams, the Montgomery C Smith Elementary School and Hudson Junior High School face challenges in meeting state proficiency standards, particularly in math.

Hudson High School stands out with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and relatively high performance on Regents exams, with 75.7% proficiency in Common Core English Language Arts and 85.42% proficiency in Common Core Algebra II. However, the school also faces concerns with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1%. In contrast, Hudson Junior High School performed better than the district and state averages on some 8th-grade state assessments, such as 34.94% proficiency in English Language Arts and 23.26% proficiency in Science, but struggled in 6th and 7th-grade math.

Across all three schools, there are high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 57.05% at Hudson High School to 65.01% at Montgomery C Smith Elementary School. This suggests potential equity concerns and the need for additional resources and support to address the challenges faced by the predominantly low-income student population in the 12534 zip code area.
