Livingston Academy

Summary:

Livingston Academy is a public high school in Livingston, Tennessee, serving 885 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Overton County School District, which is ranked 64 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Livingston Academy has a significantly higher percentage of white students (95.37%) compared to the state average and nearby schools like Jackson County High School, Monterey High School, and Cookeville High School. The school's academic performance has been mixed, with its statewide ranking ranging from 57 out of 351 high schools in 2015-2016 to 215 out of 347 in 2020-2021. However, the school has seen improvements in recent years, ranking 154 out of 374 high schools in 2023-2024 with a 3-star rating. Notably, Livingston Academy's female students, special education, and low socioeconomic status (SES) students perform better than the state average.

While Livingston Academy's racial homogeneity may impact the school's cultural and educational experiences, the school's ability to support vulnerable student groups is a positive finding. However, the school's fluctuating performance and relatively low performance in Algebra compared to other subjects are areas for improvement. By learning from the best practices of more diverse and higher-performing nearby schools, Livingston Academy can work to maintain consistent high performance across all student groups and subject areas.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
