Hudson High School

Some of the admin at the high school really dont care about student achievment. When you have seniors dropping out this shouldnt happen. You have certain administrators that bully students isnt right. They might want to paint a pretty picture but if your involved first hand of what goes on you know it isnt right.

I think the high school staff and principal are very involved and care about the student's wellbeing. One of the reasons why we have not moved from Hudson is because we would like our children to stay in the Hudson school system.

This school is terrible. The administration does not care about your child. They show a lot of favoritism, and just don't get the job done in general. I would not recommend this school to anyone.

hudson high is a great school and alot of students agree with this. i dont think that the februrary post was correct at all. the school gets alot of school choice for academics and sports. students go to many ivy league and well respected colleges and the 'pods' are just a way to organize the classrooms and to make it easier for students to find classes students travel around the pods and classrooms every period

Very happy with the quality of education. We school choiced our 2 sons from marlborough public schools when they were in 8th and 9th grade and have had nothing but a very positive experience. One has graduated this past Spring and the other is a Senior this year. There is a great sense of community and pride in this school as well there should be. The teachers are engaged and involved with their students and parents.

Great school. I did the school choice and liked it a lot more than Marlboro. I just wish that they would have a cut policy but other than that the school is amazing.

Just the best school. I switched from Marlborough to Hudson and without a doubt Hudson is better. The teachers actually want to help the students succeed.

I am a Hudson High School student and think that our school is a lot more safer and has a lot more extracurriculars than some surrounding schools. What I know about Hudson is they are only looking out for the best intrest of the kids and how and what can make them acheive more in life. Hudson's the best! Go Hawks!

[The] principal allows political bias to undermine the formation of valuable student clubs that can foster growth, debate, interpersonal skills and the opportunity for students to freely exchange ideas.

I, as a student at Hudson High, think pretty highly of our school. There is a fabulous amount of student participation in sports and other afterschool activities and the teachers are high quality and helpful. I think Hudson High is a place where one can grow academically and emotionally. We have a great amount and wide variety of college acceptances, including most (if not all) of the ivy-league schools and many drama and sports scholarships.

I am actually a student at Hudson High, and I strongly disagree with the Feb 2004 comment. They obviously misunderstand/are ignorant. Hudson is a very good school. The clustering system is completely differnt from academics. I have never been denied the option of taking an AP course, or any course for that matter, and there certainly isn't a lottery. For the area, I think Hudson provides a pretty comprehensive cirriculum, both academically and extra cirricularly. Yes, our drama department is very strong, but I don't think that is the determining factor in school choice.

Classes are taught in pods, by interest.... students must give up courses needed on trascripts for college to explore other courses.. not all pods have AP classes, then uses lottery, so not available, although they list many classes. Drama program is the one that draws school choice, not the academics. Students are not prepared for college work, even honor students have problems.

School is too quick to pull the trigger on a student. I feel that they do very little to guide the student in a positive direction. The school seems to take a 'we give up, see what you can do with him/her.'
