Summary:
The four schools in Livingston Union serve students from kindergarten through grade eight: three K–5 elementary schools and one grades 6–8 middle school. In 2025–26, the schools’ average proficiency was 35% in ELA, 28% in math and 21% in science, compared with state rates of 49%, 38% and 36%. The most important area-wide finding is that average proficiency trailed the state in all three core subjects, with the widest gap in science: 15 percentage points.
Yamato Colony Elementary is the clearest all-grade test-score leader, with 37% in ELA, 33% in math and 23% in science. Its lead is narrow in ELA and science: it is less than a point ahead of the next school in each, while its math lead is about a point. Livingston Middle is lowest in all-grade ELA at 32% and math at 17%; it trails the next-lowest school by 4 and 12 points, respectively. However, its science result of 23% is nearly level with Yamato’s. Yamato’s grade-level results are mixed, too: its third-grade math proficiency is 52%, above the state’s 47%, but its fourth-grade result is 26%, below the state’s 42%. Yamato also leads in Spanish overall, listening and writing, while Selma Herndon Elementary leads in Spanish reading.
Recent results show no single trend: the group’s average ELA rose 1 percentage point from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while math fell 1 point and science rose 1 point. Campus Park Elementary had the largest ELA gain, up 9 points, and the lowest chronic absenteeism rate, about 10%; its math improved 1 point while science slipped slightly. SchoolDigger’s rankings changed unevenly from 2023–24 to 2025–26: Campus Park rose from 23 to 32, Yamato fell from 51 to 38, Selma stayed at 34, and Livingston Middle moved from 22 to 23; SchoolDigger gives the elementary schools two stars and the middle school one. Student-teacher ratios are similar, from 21.8 at Campus Park to 22.7 at Livingston Middle. The 2024–25 free/reduced lunch eligible measure ranges from 76% at Livingston Middle to 88% at Campus Park; Yamato and Selma are at 77%.
