Livingston H S Academy

Summary:

Livingston H S Academy is a small public high school in Livingston, Texas, serving grades 9-12 and part of the Livingston Independent School District (ISD). With only 15 students enrolled, the school faces significant challenges, including low academic performance, high dropout rates, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Livingston H S Academy consistently ranks near the bottom of Texas high schools, with a statewide ranking between 1702 and 1844 out of 1961 high schools. Its performance on STAAR end-of-course exams is significantly below the state and district averages, with 0% of students proficient or better in English I Reading, compared to 54% statewide and 44% in the Livingston ISD. The school has also experienced high dropout rates, ranging from 4.9% to 24.0% over the past few years, which is much higher than the state and district averages. Additionally, Livingston H S Academy has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 58.33% to 73.33% over the past few years.

Compared to the other nearby high schools, such as Onalaska Junior/Senior High, which has a 97% four-year graduation rate and much higher test scores, Livingston H S Academy significantly underperforms in terms of academic achievement, graduation rates, and dropout rates. The school's declining performance and inability to keep pace with its neighbors suggest the need for a comprehensive review of its educational strategies and resource allocation to improve student outcomes.

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.
