Summary

North Livingston Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 135 students in grades PK-5 in Burna, Kentucky, which is part of the Livingston County School District.

North Livingston Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools, with its performance on state assessments (KSA) significantly below the Livingston County and Kentucky averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd-grade reading proficiency rate was 39%, compared to 56% for Livingston County and 47% for the state. The school has also experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 12.5% to 28% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 63.85% to 71.85% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, nearby schools such as Clark Elementary and Sharpe Elementary generally outperform North Livingston Elementary on state assessments and have lower rates of chronic absenteeism. Additionally, schools with lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students, such as Reidland Elementary and Calvert City Elementary, tend to have stronger academic performance. These comparisons suggest that factors beyond just socioeconomic status may be contributing to North Livingston's struggles, and the school may benefit from targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
