A gem of a school. The teachers are so interesting and come from a wide variety of backgrounds. They love the kids.
This is absolutely the best middle school for your child to attend in Hoboken. Especially in the 7th and 8th grades, the English and math departments are phenomenal. However, a nameless foreign language teacher is much to boring to capture student's attention and is also often irritable and unable to cater to students who should either be excelling but are not because of the nature of the course or students who are having a hard time with the language. And while the PE class is much-loved by everyone, it is only once a week- not often enough for energy-filled students. It is a very free and friendly environment where the teachers are more than happy to help students who need help outside of school and individuality is treasured. On average, the academics rate 8.5/10. Over all, I am very glad to have been a student there from 5th to 8th grade.
We came to the Hudson School from an industrial sized suburban high school for the 10th grade. Small classes are the norm, and the teaching and attention to the students' development are superior. My son is now a senior and has been inspired by the close-knit inclusive spirit among the students. This is a joyful and creative place that values each child's uniqueness and celebrates it openly. Students are always using the facility for both creative and social interaction after school hours: it is a second home to many. We love this school.
We used Hudson School for 2 years and then pulled out. There is way too much homework, plus there are mandatory weekend activites. Kids are allowed to hand work in incomplete or late yet get full credit. And, in spite of astronomical tuition, everything costs extra. We had to pay for them to charter a bus for a field trip to Manhattan. All they needed to do was take the PATH! That kind of thing was typical.
