2023reportcard
Sharing this proudly, one more time :-) Celebrating Hudson Middle School! On our most recent state report card, we are thrilled to share that our school ranks in the top 2% of all middle schools in Ohio (#12 out of 603) based on our Performance Index!!! This is calculated based on how well our students score on their OST's, with higher points earned as students score at levels of Accomplished, Advanced, and Advanced Plus. We are all so proud of our students and staff and families!!!

In Language Arts, students practiced using small details and clarity, by writing How to Tie Your Shoe. They then worked with a partner to see if their procedures found success! Lots of laughter when the teacher tried to tie his shoes using those preliminary directions!

The “World in My Closet” was a hands-on activity that demonstrated the Economic Powerball Words: import, export, globalization, interdependence, and GDP. Students were learning while having fun!
