Hudson Technical Alternative

Summary:

Hudson Technical Alternative is a public virtual high school serving grades 6-12 in Hudson, Michigan, with a student population of 170 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school is part of the Hudson Area Schools district, which is ranked 552 out of 606 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The data reveals that Hudson Technical Alternative is struggling academically, with significantly lower graduation rates (ranging from 13.6% to 46.9% over the past 5 years) compared to the 91.4% graduation rate at the nearby Hudson Area JRSR High School. The school also has high dropout rates, ranging from 0% to 17% over the past 5 years, much higher than the 5.7% dropout rate at Hudson Area JRSR High School. Additionally, Hudson Technical Alternative students perform significantly worse on state assessments, with only 12.1% of students proficient in SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, compared to 29.7% in the district and 52.2% statewide.

The school appears to be serving a more racially diverse and economically disadvantaged student population, with a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (20.59%) compared to the nearby Hudson Area JRSR High School (6.85%) and the state average, as well as a very high percentage of students (over 60%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests the school may need to provide more targeted academic and social-emotional interventions to support the success of its diverse and disadvantaged student population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
