What stands out about Hudson ISD
- Estimated teacher pay here rose +33.3% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing Texas's statewide +10.1% by 23.2 points, a growth rate faster than 89% of the 1,015 Texas districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
- Enrolment fell from 2,959 to 2,768 students (6.5% down) across FY2019–FY2023 while the instructional salary pool per teacher went up. Districts on that path are usually holding staffing steady against a falling roll, which lifts the per-teacher figure without anyone getting a raise, so read this page's salary estimate alongside the enrolment line rather than on its own.
