of 2,761 California Middle Schools

Better than 23% of California middle schools

Summary

Livingston Middle is a public school serving about 809 students in grades 6 through 8 in the Livingston Union school district, which faces significant educational challenges across the region.

Academically, the school has struggled for years, with test scores in English and math that are well below the state average and rank near the bottom compared to other middle schools in California. For example, while only about 28% of Livingston Middle students are proficient in English, nearby schools like Marvin A. Dutcher Middle and Winton Middle have proficiency rates of 50% and 46%, respectively. This is despite Livingston Middle spending more money per student than many of these higher-performing schools. The school sees a particular need for improvement in supporting English Language Learners and in mathematics instruction across all grades.

However, the school does have a notable strength: student attendance. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 16.4% is better than the state average and significantly better than some local schools like Rudolph Rivera Middle (25.4%) and Turlock Junior High (25.0%), indicating success in creating an environment where students want to come to school. The key challenge for Livingston Middle is translating this consistent attendance into stronger academic achievement for all students.
