                                          Hello Hudson City Schools
                                          Families, Community Members
                                          and Businesses,

                                          I am proud to present the Hudson City School District
                                          Quality Profile. There are many measures of student
                                          and school performance today, and while we are
                                          certainly proud of our students’ State Assessment
                                          Scores and our State Report Card results, there is much
                                          more to a quality education than what standardized
                                          assessments can measure.
