Summary

Livsey Elementary School in Tucker, GA, serves approximately 383 students from Pre-K through 5th grade and stands out as a top performer within the DeKalb County district, which overall ranks in the 32nd percentile statewide. Livsey consistently earns 4-star ratings and currently ranks in the 72nd percentile of Georgia elementary schools, placing it in the top quarter statewide. This is especially notable given that the school serves a diverse population, with 65.5% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch—a figure that has risen from 45% in just two years, yet academic performance has remained strong.

The school's most striking strength is mathematics. In 3rd and 4th grade, math proficiency rates are roughly 30 percentage points above the district average (65.5% and 64.1% proficient, respectively, versus district averages of 35.9% and 37.5%). Livsey also outperforms every nearby elementary school in nearly every subject. For example, its 3rd grade math proficiency of 65.5% dwarfs Midvale Elementary School (45.7%), Evansdale Elementary School (40.3%), and Brockett Elementary School (31.4%). While current-year English Language Arts scores are not yet available (they will be released in December), historical data shows Livsey at or above state averages in reading, with 5th grade ELA reaching 49.1% proficiency in 2024-2025, exceeding the state average by 6 points.

Livsey also excels in student attendance and resources. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 14.8% is dramatically lower than the district average of 26.7% and below the state average of 17.7%. The school invests $24,778 per student—about $6,000 more than nearby Idlewood Elementary School and Pleasantdale Elementary School—and maintains a favorable 11.2:1 student-teacher ratio. This combination of high investment, strong attendance, and consistent academic results suggests Livsey is using its resources effectively to create an environment where students thrive, even as economic needs in the community have increased.

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
