Livingston Middle School

Summary:

Livingston Middle School is a public middle school in Livingston, Tennessee, serving 276 students in grades 5-8. 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 Middle School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (93.48%) compared to the state average, with lower percentages of minority students. Academically, the school's performance on TNReady tests is generally below the state and county averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (34.6%) and English Language Arts (29.5%) were lower than the state averages of 39.7% and 37.6%, respectively. Compared to nearby middle schools like Algood Middle School, Livingston Middle School performs worse academically, with lower proficiency rates in core subjects.

Despite these challenges, Livingston Middle School performs relatively well for Special Education students (ranked 53 out of 293 schools) and Low Socioeconomic Status students (ranked 137 out of 502 schools), suggesting the school may be effectively supporting these student populations. However, the school's overall academic struggles and declining performance over the years indicate broader challenges that need to be addressed, such as resource allocation, instructional practices, or school climate. The high percentage of white students at Livingston Middle School may also be a factor in its academic performance and ranking, and further investigation into the impact of racial and socioeconomic diversity on student outcomes could provide valuable insights.

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.
