Elementary Schools in Livingston Union

Summary:

This analysis examines three elementary schools (K-5) serving approximately 1,741 students within the Livingston Union school district, which ranks in the bottom third of all California districts.

Among these schools, Selma Herndon Elementary stands out for having the strongest overall academic performance in English and math, along with the lowest chronic absenteeism rate. Yamato Colony Elementary has shown the most significant improvement in its statewide ranking over recent years and excels in Spanish language assessments. Campus Park Elementary has notable strengths in maintaining an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate and leads in science proficiency, despite having the highest percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Key insights reveal an interesting dynamic where higher per-student spending does not directly correlate with higher test scores in core subjects. Performance varies significantly by grade level, with 3rd-grade math being notably stronger than 5th-grade math across the district. While all schools operate within the same Livingston Union framework, school-level factors lead to a wide range of outcomes, demonstrating that individual school environment and practices play a crucial role in student success.
