Hudson City School District (HCSD) is comprised of the city of Hudson and small parts of Boston Heights Township and Cuyahoga Falls. Approximately 4,800 students attend the six Hudson schools. The elementary schools range from grades k-5 are are compartmentalized into 4 different buildings at 4 separate locations in the city. The Hudson Middle School grades range from 6-8 and are all under one roof. Approximately 1,200 students attend the middle school. At the middle school, starting from grade 6 through 8, students are divided up into what they call "communities." If you would like more information about "communities," check out the districts website. www.hudson.k12.oh.us Hudson High School ranges from grades 9-12 and is also all under one roof. There are approximately 1,600 students that attend this school. Hudson High school is ranked 64th best school in the country and 2nd best in the state of Ohio by Newsweek in 2014. There are 22 AP classes available and College Credit Plus (Previously called Post Secondary) opportunities are offered at the high school. The HCSD also has a 93% higher education attendance with 91% going to a four year university, 3% going to a 2 year college, and the other 6% going into employment or the military. The Hudson City School District offers wonderful learning environments with minimal bulling problems among students. Though in recent years, drug problems have risen within the middle and high schools, mostly commonly with the usage of marijuana. HCSD is comprised of 84% caucasian students, 7% Asian American, 3% Latino/Hispanic, 2% black, and 4% other races. As a former student, I strongly recommend enrolling your students in this public school system. HCSD offers highly competitive classes that will challenge students and prepare them for college readiness.

Extremely left-wing, there is room for a lgbt exploration club (whatever that means) but it takes four months to get the assistant principal to even consider a Moc Trial team?

My daughter went there for a brief time before we moved her to a better school. Where do I begin first off the assistant principal is EXTREMELY unprofessional and just in general not a nice person and too over whelmed and immature to be in that position. Lord knows what the actual principal does as she is behind the scenes. The assistant principal doesn't believe in discipline when it comes to the athletes And they get away with just about anything. For example they were making fun of a colored student and my daughter witnessed it and the student complained to the principal and nothing was done about it. Finally there are aides and they stand around all day and chat and don't actually do their jobs. Overall I do think this school has gone down hill and recommended they hire better administrators starting w the assistant principal. I have also heard talk in my community about some anti semitism brewing in addition to the racism that is already out in the open and not handled. The school in general seems quite right wing and intolerant of other races and religions.

I just wish I'd understood that plenty of local schools are so much better. Ignatius routinely employs uncertified alumni with little experience. Two teachers and a coach were emotionally and psychologically abusive. I was a year younger than all the other students which doesn't help in this toxic environment. Homophobia and racism are endemic. Zero science during freshman year, zero opportunity to socialize with girls. Ignatius now offers a health science mentoring and internship program, probably because they noticed very few of us smarties were prepared for medical studies. They had to improve their game given the exhorbitant tuition and inferior curriculum compared to good public schools in the area that have four years of science, superior arts programs, healthier culture and don't subject young boys to four years of mandatory religious indoctrination. They actually told us there was zero networking for medical school. It seems like efforts were made to improve, but I would never send my son's here or indeed to any "Catholic" school after my experience. If your parents hold you back a year or two in one of the local "Catholic" grade schools, play football and the administration will shepherd you with better instructors and manipulate your record to improve your GPA.

Hathaway Brown School for girls is a very well educated, sustained, and finical school. Except when…read moreit comes to lunch seats. My daughter is an 8th grader this year at Hathaway Brown middle school and she has been telling me how at lunch her and her eight friends want to sit together. So they have been sitting at two connected tables that equal eight seats for each girl (apparently this table has always been like this). But suddenly they've been noticing that the other half of there table keeps getting moved to be apart of another half table, so they keep having to move the other half table back and forth every lunch day just so they can sit together. (They can't switch to another table because all of them are taken up by different grades/people). So one day my daughters friend is moving the other half of the table like usual and then out of no where apparently a teacher comes screaming at her to not move the table and that nobody can move tables anymore. So now there is only room for six girls at the table so they decide to grab two more chairs to squeeze into the table to include there two friends, that is very nice. But the same teacher comes out and starts screaming at the same girl again about how they cannot move chairs at all. Why does it matter so much? My daughter said that the teacher said that it's ok the six girls will sit at a table and the other two will sit at a table alone be cause they need to engage with other kids an snake new friends. I'm sorry but that is excluding two girls from the rest of there friend group and that's also breaking apart a strong friendship with the girls. It's the 8th grade everybody has there groups by now and they know who they like and don't like, and if they don't have that then there is definitely something wrong with your kid. Hathaway Brown School is a good school but they are just so weird about the whole friend thing, don't send your kids here if you don't like this.

If you have a bright child who needs motivation, it's probably OK. But if you have an average child who is a hard worker or, heaven forbid, and under-performing child, this will be an extremely stressful environment for your her. My daughter has some special challenges to learning which were made extremely clear before we enrolled her. With the cost of the school (close to or exceeding tuition for an undergraduate degree each year) I was genuinely shocked that Hathaway Brown's first solution was to ask us for more money for a private tutor within a month ! If you have a child with additional needs, do not go to the school. I do believe that the teachers genuinely care about the students, other than one of the female math teachers who is basically a bully. Summary statement: if you're the kind of parent who has to ensure your child has every advantage to get into an Ivy League school at any cost, send her to HB. Just realize that the school caters to superstars. And if your daughter is not one of them, she will be made to feel pretty bad about herself and placed under extreme pressure until you unenroll her or comply with paying for multiple extracurricular tutors.
