The spending per student varies significantly, from $4,814 at Hudson Technical Alternative to $17,640 at Hudson Middle School, suggesting that the schools may have access to vastly different levels of resources and funding.
Overall, the analysis of the school data in the 49247 zip code reveals a complex picture, with both strengths and challenges. While Hudson Area JRSR High School demonstrates a relatively higher graduation rate, the overall academic performance across the schools is concerning, particularly at the alternative high school.
