My son has gone here since Kindergarten. Due to a split household, I'm unable to move my son to a better suited school. My son is performing, at best, on a second to third grade level, passing with all As. The expectations of this school are extremely low. As a soon to be fourth grader, my son does not understand proper handwriting, such as keeping his letter legible or even the same size. He doesn't have a clear understanding of punctuation, capitalization, or general sentence structure. When this was brought up to his teacher, I was told that it didn't matter because they type most things and it auto corrects for them. My son spends more time logged in to a "learning" website playing a game where he taps a single button to make a character jump than he does on actual learning. By the end of third grade, he has never done a single book report or project. He spends a majority of his time bored because he finishes his work quickly and has nothing to do. This is only the tip of the iceberg of complaints I have about this school. I cannot wait until my son reaches sixth grade and ages out of this school.

Hudson Elementary is a fantastic school. My children are in their third year here and love the school, their teachers and staff. The school is “A” rated and it is clear that academic success is important to the teachers and students alike. The amount of homework given is reasonable per grade level. The student to teacher ratios are lower than many other elementary schools in the area, which allows teachers to give personalized attention to students who need it. Dr. Shores, the principal, is absolutely phenomenal and the most dedicated administrator I have ever seen. I visited a number of schools before deciding on Hudson and did so with confidence after meeting him. I think great leadership is critical to a school’s success. Dr. Shores inspires the children to want to be successful and the teachers to do their best. He is great with parents and during meetings is responsive, considerate and thoughtful. I have seen him direct traffic in the parking lot, help with playground duty, run in the annual Turkey Trot, and allow students to Velcro him to a wall as an end of year reward for their hard work.
