Hudsonville Public Schools

What Hudsonville Public Schools does

Hudsonville Public Schools is a Michigan K-12 public school district headquartered at 3886 Van Buren Street in Hudsonville, Ottawa County, serving students from early childhood through grade 12 across the greater West Michigan area (Kent and Ottawa counties). The district operates 14 school buildings, including an Early Childhood Center, nine elementary campuses (Alward, Bauer, Forest Grove, Georgetown, Jamestown Lower and Upper, Park, South, and the 5/6 Building at Georgetown), two middle schools (Baldwin Street and Riley Street), and Hudsonville High School, supported by 501-1,000 employees.

The district's core offering is a comprehensive K-12 academic program with advanced placement coursework, foreign language instruction in German, Spanish, and Mandarin Chinese, and a full extracurricular surface spanning competitive athletics, vocal/band/orchestra programs, special education services, and a Community Education division that monetizes aquatics, fitness, and facility rentals. The underlying technology stack is conventional EdTech: PowerSchool for the student information system, Moodle as the learning management system, Clever for single sign-on across digital resources, Google Workspace for email and productivity, SchoolMessenger for district-wide SMS communications, and Nutrislice for lunch menus. Add-on service modules include the RULER social-emotional learning curriculum (grades K-5), Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) with dedicated Student Support Specialists, and on-site mental health therapy.

Funding flows through a mix of Michigan foundation allowance (state aid), local property taxes, federal grants, and community education fees; the district does not charge in-district tuition and offers Schools-of-Choice for out-of-district families. All buildings have held an "A" designation from the Michigan Department of Education for three consecutive years, positioning the district among the top performers in Kent and Ottawa counties. In November 2025 the district joined a 13-member Cyber Security Operations Center consortium that is projected to save participating districts approximately $2 million over four years, and the district remains a member of the Ottawa Area Intermediate School District (OAISD) consortium for shared special education and early childhood developmental services.
