GreatSchools Rating
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. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

My overall experience at Hodgson was amazing. I loved everything about Hodgson. The teachers made learning fun and I loved all of the activities that they had planned. All of the activities didn't make anyone feel excluded and I really learned something at Hodgson, you can't say that about all schools. Hodgson helped me figure out my future career and had many programs that helped you get on the right path. There aren't any worst parts about Hodgson.
