What Parents Should Know

Test scores at Hugo MS sit below average, but its growth scores are strong: students here make above-average progress year over year. The raw numbers haven't caught up, but a school that keeps moving kids forward is doing the harder, more important work.

Hugo MS runs 29.6:1 students to teachers, above the national average. That often means bigger classes. Ask how the school supports kids who need extra help, and whether there are teaching assistants or small-group time.

44% of students at Hugo MS were chronically absent in the 2022-23 school year, above the national average.
