Livingston High School

Summary:

Livingston High School is a public high school serving 1,128 students in grades 9-12 in the Livingston Independent School District. The school has a predominantly White student population (57.71%), with significant Hispanic (27.22%) and African American (10.46%) representation. While the school has maintained a high graduation rate and low dropout rate, its academic performance, as measured by STAAR EOC test scores, is generally below state and district averages, particularly in core subjects like Algebra I, English I Reading, and English II Reading.

Compared to nearby schools like Shepherd High School, Coldspring-Oakhurst High School, and Onalaska Junior/Senior High, Livingston High School performs at a similar or slightly lower level. The school's student population also exhibits significant racial disparities in academic performance, with African American and White students performing notably lower than Hispanic and multi-racial students. Additionally, the school's Gifted and Talented program is underperforming compared to nearby schools, and its spending per student, while increasing over the years, remains lower than the state average.

To address these challenges, Livingston High School may need to learn from higher-performing nearby schools, address potential achievement gaps, and explore ways to enhance specialized programs and resource allocation. By focusing on improving academic performance, particularly in core subject areas, and ensuring equitable opportunities for all students, the school can work towards driving better outcomes for its diverse student population.

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.

Open Quote Not only is this an awful school with poor learning outcomes and few students graduating from college later on, it also seems to have a student/teacher scandal every year. I'm ashamed of it and feel sorry for the kids that come out of it. Close Quote

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.
