District-Level NCES Analysis
Hudson School District operates 10 public schools serving 5,377 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Wisconsin. The school portfolio breaks down into 5 elementary, 2 high, 2 combined, 1 middle schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in St. Croix County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,674 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 422 Wisconsin districts by per-pupil spending. See how Wisconsin compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 61.3% local, 30.5% state, and 8.2% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 33/100, ranked #307 of 403 in Wisconsin against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 10 schools offering Advanced Placement (22 AP courses district-wide), a 320.2:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 21.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.

Hudson High accounts for 31.6% of all Hudson School District student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Hudson School District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Hudson School District school enrollment varies 141× across entities
Hudson School District school enrollment ranges from 12 students (lowest) to 1,697 students (highest), a spread of 1,685 students. That ratio is an extreme outlier spread — among the widest gaps observed anywhere in this dataset. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Hudson School District student-counselor ratio is 320:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Variation between sub-units within Hudson School District is typically wider than the Hudson School District-aggregate figure suggests.
Hudson School District chronic absenteeism rate is 21.4% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Variation between sub-units within Hudson School District is typically wider than the Hudson School District-aggregate figure suggests.
Hudson School District has 10 schools, including 2 high, 1 middle, 5 elementary, 2 combined. Total enrollment is 5,377 students.
