2013-14 was our first year at Livsey - we love the school! Great parental involvement, extra activities, helpful staff. We are looking forward to staying in the Tucker schools. Awesome community and schools - don't let skewed scores fool you. Small town near a big city. You can't beat the location, home value and just plain good people around here. Close Quote
