Best Public Schools in Livingston, AL

Summary:

The city of Livingston, Alabama is home to 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 1 high school. The standout school in the area appears to be University Charter School, which outperforms the other schools on several key metrics. This charter school has significantly higher proficiency rates on state assessments, especially in English Language Arts, and a more balanced racial makeup compared to the predominantly African American student populations at the other schools.

The other schools in the area, Livingston Junior High School and York West End Junior High School, have much lower proficiency rates and higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating higher levels of economic disadvantage. Spending per student does not appear to be the primary driver of performance, as the highest spending school had the lowest performance.

Overall, the data suggests that the University Charter School model may be more effective in this area compared to the Sumter County district-run schools. Further investigation would be needed to fully understand the factors contributing to the performance differences between the schools.
