Summary:
Zip code 95334 has one high school, Livingston High, serving grades 9–12, so families have no other listed local high school to compare it with. Its completion rates are strong compared with California: in 2025–2026, 98% of students graduated, 11 percentage points above the state, while the 1% dropout rate was 7 points below it. Chronic absenteeism was 24%, however, 6 points above the state. The clearest academic concern is math: proficiency was 11%, 28 points below California’s 38%.
Because Livingston is the only school in the list, it is both the area’s sole listed option and its only point of comparison—not a meaningful local leader or trailer. In 2025–2026, its ELA proficiency was 42%, 7 points below the state, and science proficiency was 24%, 12 points below. Compared with the Merced Union High district, Livingston was about level in ELA, 5 points lower in math, and about level in science. For 11th graders, the gaps from the state were wider in ELA and narrower in math: 42% versus 57% in ELA, 11% versus 32% in math, and 24% versus 38% in science.
Results improved in all three subjects from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: ELA rose 8 points, math 2, and science 11. State gaps narrowed notably in ELA and science, while the math gap improved only slightly. SchoolDigger ranked Livingston in the 33rd percentile with 2 stars in 2025–2026, up from the 26th percentile and 1 star the year before; this ranking is SchoolDigger’s measure, not a test-score change. In 2024–2025, the student-teacher ratio was 20.9 and 86% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. With only one school in the list, these figures cannot show how schools vary locally or how school characteristics relate to results.
