Livingston Middle

Summary:

Livingston Middle is a public middle school located in Livingston, CA, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 833 students. The school is part of the Livingston Union District, which is ranked 1138 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Livingston Middle has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of California middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

Livingston Middle faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, consistently low test scores across all subject areas and grade levels, and particularly concerning performance for student subgroups such as English Language Learners, Special Education students, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. When compared to nearby middle schools like Rudolph Rivera Middle and Turlock Junior High, Livingston Middle is underperforming, with lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates. The school's high percentage of students (78.15% in 2022-2023) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch suggests that socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the school's academic struggles.

To address these challenges, Livingston Middle and the Livingston Union District need to implement comprehensive strategies to improve instructional practices, increase student support services, and address the socioeconomic factors impacting student outcomes. By focusing on these areas, the school can work towards improving the educational experiences and 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.

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.
