Each year, Newsweek and The Daily Beast compare the quality of education among the nation's top secondary schools. Hudson High School ranks 13th in Ohio and 269th out of the 1,000 high schools who qualified to make the list based on graduation rate, percent of graduates accepted to college, AP/IB/ALICE tests per student, average SAT and/or ACT score, average AP/IB/AICE exam score and AP/IB/AICE courses offered per student. In order to be considered for the list, Hudson completed a survey requesting specific data from the 2010-2011 school year. In all, more than 2,300 schools were assessed to produce the final list of the top 1,000 schools. Also recently, Hudson High School ranked 12th in Ohio out of 873 high schools and 336th out of 22,000 high schools in the US News and World Report rankings of the best public schools in the nation.
