Hudson Elementary

Summary:

Hudson Elementary is a public elementary school located in Brownsville, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 666. The school is part of the Brownsville Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 439 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hudson Elementary consistently outperforms the Brownsville ISD and the state of Texas in STAAR test scores, with significantly higher proficiency rates in Reading and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Hudson Elementary had 62.96% proficiency in 3rd grade Reading, compared to 47.94% for Brownsville ISD and 48.85% for the state. The school's Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds also perform significantly better than their counterparts in the district and state, ranking in the top 20% and top 17% of Texas elementary schools, respectively. However, the school's English Language Learner (ELL) and Special Education students perform below average, ranking in the bottom 33% and 52% of Texas elementary schools.

Hudson Elementary's high Hispanic student population, which is significantly higher than the district and state, may contribute to the school's academic success. The school's practices and strategies could be studied and potentially replicated in other schools with similar demographics to improve student outcomes. Additionally, Hudson Elementary's relatively high per-student spending, which has increased from $8,718 in 2018-2019 to $10,893 in 2020-2021, may have contributed to the school's academic performance, and analyzing how these resources are allocated could provide insights for other schools.

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.
