Hudson City School District (Ohio)

The Hudson City School District (HCSD) is a public school district in Summit County, Ohio, United States. It covers most of Hudson, the village of Boston Heights, and some slices of Boston Township and Cuyahoga Falls that apparently weren’t claimed by anyone else.[1]

As of 2021, Hudson High School was ranked No. 460 nationally by U.S. News & World Report. This puts it well above average, but still leaves 459 other schools to brag louder.[2]

Schools

The district currently operates the following schools:[3]

  • Hudson High School — the flagship, complete with Friday night lights and parking woes.
  • Hudson Middle School — where students learn that lockers are way too small.
  • East Woods Intermediate School — intermediate in both grade levels and building age.
  • Ellsworth Hill Elementary School — tiny chairs, big energy.
  • McDowell Early Learning School — where it all begins (and nap time is taken very seriously).
