wouldn't change anything about Hudson besides the food prices. I enjoyed my stay at Hudson and it couldn't be any better.
The only good thing about Hudson was the connections that you are able to make with certain people. Currently they are trying to remove AP courses and replace them with electives. AP courses help students to get more credits and have better transcripts for college. Along with the removal of AP courses they do not provide ACT or SAT test prep. During my time there I would say that the curriculum was terrible. Many students cheat their way through and many students are lacking the proper education because of the school. None of the teachers stay at the school for a long time. Anyone that applies for a job their are most likely to get in because the school is so short on staff. I’ll give credit to the teachers that try but there’s a lot that don’t. Finally, I’d like to say that I graduated with honors on June 3rd. It’s currently June 28th as I write this review and none of the graduated seniors have received diplomas or transcripts yet, only the diploma cover. The worst school I attended.
During my experience of school, I learned so many new things in my courses and had time to actually grow as an individual. The worst part was just how quickly teachers came and went. It would've been nice to see familiar faces when coming back to school in September. I met so many new people and grew out my shell. There's honestly nothing I would change.
I believe the best part about Hudson Catholic is how diverse it is. In my last school, I didn’t have as many people who look like me. So it was nice to see you. Finally some people who look like me and I understood my problems. The worst part about Hudson Catholic is in my opinion is when it comes to classes a.k.a. Wanting to be in honors or special programs. like my freshman year, I was thrown into a regular class with some people are throwing into honors. But it wasn’t like I came to the school with a bad grade average, I was second honors my whole middle school year. Then, because they put me in a regular class when I apply for dual enrollment, they only really took honors kids and I was denied. But overall, it’s a really enjoyable school other than just the way that they do stuff for classes.
I am the parent of an upcoming senior. My son and I chose this school because of the academics, diversity, and sports/club activities that it offered. My son is pretty active and needed to be in a school that could support his athletic ability as well as his academics. 90% of students from Hudson Catholic go on to pursue college education overall I am pretty happy with the school. However, the one thing that I am not happy with is that the high school does not offer SAT coursework for students. There is a significant gap between what students cover in school and what's on the SAT exam. I would like it if the Hudson Catholic would offer an SAT class for Juniors and seniors to better prepare them for the SAT exam.
The school is a small and homey environment. The academics are perfect with anybody. They have a dual enrollment program that I am in and it is very useful for in the future. The staff is very nice and understanding
Where do we even begin? We came to this school thinking that it would safer compared to the public schools in the area but oh were we mistaken. Whenever we came to the open houses and saw online advertisements for the school we thought the it was great but when we actually attended the school we quickly had a reality check. A lot of the teachers think that they are entitled and when we want to ask some teacher questions for clarification they belittle the students. The WiFi is so bad that it would be rated a zero. They are last minute when it comes to school events and updates on school closings and delayed openings. This school has poor ventilation and a horrible heating system. They have favoritism over certain students and sports. Most sports do not get new or any uniforms or equipment. They don't take action when favored student do things that make other students feel safe and there is little accommodations for students with IEPs and 504's. The fights. 1000 Characters isn't enough
The school truly feels like a second home. The school is so diverse and you get to know people from all different parts of New Jersey. They help you stay motivated and the staff is always around to help you in anyway possible.
Experiences during a person's teen years shape his/her personality and behavior throughout his life. I got bullied in this school, and when I turned to a teacher of this school he told me there is nothing he can do and there's only a few months until summer so just take the bullying. Every teacher I had in this school saw me getting bullied and did nothing, except in my senior year the history teacher helped. I was only 14 when the bullying started and it got worse year by year until my senior year, and I didn't know who else to turn to, to help me. Waking up every morning to go to this school was the worst 4 years of my life. I went into depression. I stopped talking, I stopped smiling. I begged my parents to let me transfer to public school they said no because this is a private school it should have good academics because it's so expensive it had to be good. Little did they know, during my freshman year I was taught what I learned in 6th-8th grade in elementary (middle) school.
Great overall school experience. Made long life friendships while receiving a fairly good education.
I really enjoyed my experience at Hudson Catholic Regional High School. I was part of athletics, the honors program, national honors society and other clubs. All of these aspects were an extra plus to my experience, aside from the fact that Hudson Catholic itself is a very good school. It is a pretty small school which I liked because it made it feel more like a tight knit family, since you knew everyone. All the teachers I had during my four years were excellent. They were always willing to help you and they had the patience to teach in a manner that everyone understood what was being taught. The administration was overall very welcoming and made you feel at home. Being part of athletics was really awesome because it made me grow closer to some of my teammates who were also my classmates. The coaching staff was amazing and always made sure we were doing well academically before anything.
Hudson Catholic is a great high school. The teachers, staff, and the students are friendly and welcoming. The school has a wide variety of extracurricular activities to choose from. Being a Catholic school, there is a great emphasis on religion and community service. There are also some amazing academic programs, such as the ACE Program and the Dual Enrollment Program with Saint Peter's University. The staff really care about the learning and the well-being of the students. Overall, it is a good school. It is a great environment for learning and developing bonds with your peers.
I will be a freshmen in September and for as long as I can remember I have wanted to attend Hudson Catholic. The day I was accepted felt like a dream come true. I know I will thrive there.
Had a great four years. Missed the last few months because of the Pandemic. I was loaded with homework but the Teachers made it fun. Hopefully, we will get to have an in-person graduation besides virtual. It's far the best school in the City and worth every cent of my parents money.
The teachers at Hudson Catholic are amazing and genuinely care about the future of the their students. Sports and diversity are huge part of the Hudson Catholic culture. The students are very active and there are many clubs/activities/ sports to join in and make the most of your high school experience. Two areas Hudson lacks in are sat/ act readiness and food. They can do a better job preparing students for college standardized tests. Food is extremely overpriced and is average at best. All in all I had a great four years at Hudson Catholic.
Hudson Catholic changed my life. The teachers and staff here want you to succeed and will do all they can do to help you reach your goals. Classes are interactive and teach lessons that you will carry with you in college and for the rest of your life.
Through out my high school experience I've accomplished many things that I did not know I was capable of doing. My teachers taught me to be hardworking and that by pushing myself academically, I could reach awards like First Honors and being included into programs like Dual Enrollment and the ACE Program. I've created bonds with my classmates and put myself more out there and joined sports such as Cheerleading. I've joined clubs such as Art Club and Chemistry Club. Hudson has only pushed me into a more hardworking students and helped me whenever I was going through a hard time. I never felt alone going to school, and I always felt like I was apart of a diverse family. Even though it's a Catholic school we have students of different religions and we share our different cultures and beliefs. We accept and love each other regardless of our differences and it is a really beautiful thing to see. I have enjoyed every year and Hudson Catholic and it will always be a second home to me.
