The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students.

We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Hudson Falls High School has a wonderful community. There are of course bad days, as well as students who don't love to be there that make the days harder but it's a great place to be. We have a wonderful community and have always come together in hard times with community services or all types. Being in such a positive space has taught me compassion and made me strive to be a better person. Even with the bad days, I love my school.

Hudson Falls has given me so many opportunities to thrive academically. Bullying is never a problem and so many students are so friendly and open to being nice to everyone. It is a great environment and school community to be apart of.

Those students negatively influence the learning environment. Students a...
