Hudson High School of Learning Technologies

Hudson pairs AP courses with dedicated ELL support and a humanities focus, while its average class size of 25.8 mirrors the district average of 25.8 — so students aren't getting unusually small or large cohorts. The school's program richness score of 64/100 is solid for a 307-student school, though small enrollment inherently caps how many electives and AP sections a school can sustain.

Zero suspensions is the headline — Hudson posts none at all, against a district suspension rate near 0.3%, signaling a discipline approach that doesn't lean on removal. Teacher collegial trust is exceptionally high at 97%, and teachers rate their own instruction quality at 90%, essentially matching the district average. Parent satisfaction lands at 75%, well below the district's 92%, but with only 14 families responding (an 8% rate), that gap is a signal worth watching rather than a verdict — the climate picture here is harder to read than the numbers suggest.

Hudson's 307 students are 63% Hispanic and 27% Black, with an economic need index of 83.4% — most students come from low-income households even though the school's address sits in one of Manhattan's wealthier zip codes. About a quarter of students have IEPs, and ELL support is a listed program, reflecting a student body that arrives with significant academic and language support needs. The contrast with the surrounding neighborhood is sharp: Chelsea-Hudson Yards is high-income and only 6.4% of its households include children.

Chelsea-Hudson Yards is a high-income, highly educated Manhattan neighborhood where the median household income tops $122,000 and nearly three-quarters of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher. Only 6.4% of households include children, reflecting a neighborhood that skews toward young professionals and transplants rather than long-term family residents. The mismatch between the address and the school is part of the story here — many Hudson families likely commute in from elsewhere in the city.

Three subway options sit within a six-minute walk: the 14 St station (A, C, E) is about 4 minutes away, with the 8 Av (L) and 23 St (C, E) stations each roughly 6 minutes on foot.
