Summary:
Livingston Central High School is the only high school listed in Livingston County, serving grades 9–12 and 339 students. The school’s 2025–2026 results show a mixed subject picture, alongside graduation and attendance measures that compare favorably with state figures. Most important, proficiency declined from the prior year in five of the six reported subjects.
Because there is only one school listed, it cannot be compared with local peers or described as the area’s top or bottom performer. Against state results, writing stands out as the school’s strongest subject: 59% were proficient, 12 percentage points above the state’s 47%. Science was the lowest result, at 19%, 4 points below the state’s 23%; the other four subjects were also below state results, by 1 to 3 points. The school’s graduation rate was 100%, compared with 94% statewide, while its dropout rate was 0%, versus 1% statewide. Chronic absenteeism was 20%, below the state’s 24% but 4 points above the district’s 16%.
Test results and SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile ranking both point to weaker recent standing, though they measure different things. The SchoolDigger percentile fell from 84 in 2023–2024 to 55 in 2025–2026, a 29-point drop; its listed rank shifted from 47 of 290 to 117 of 262. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, proficiency fell 10 points in mathematics, 9 in science, 4 in writing, 15 in social studies and 5 in editing and mechanics, while reading stayed at 47%. The school has a 15:1 student-teacher ratio (2024–2025), and 52% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; these figures provide context, not an explanation for results.
