Summary

Livingston County Middle School is a public school in Burna, Kentucky, serving 201 students in grades 7–8. It is the smallest school in its nearby comparison group, where enrollment ranges from 210 to 632. The key concern for families is that every current school test result that can be compared with the state is below the state proficiency rate, with eighth-grade math showing the largest shortfall.

Reading is the school’s relative strength in its latest results, but it still trails the state: 41% of seventh graders were proficient, compared with 50% statewide, and 33% of eighth graders were proficient, compared with 40%. Nearby schools averaged 58% in seventh-grade reading and 46% in eighth-grade reading. Eighth-grade math is the clearest weakness: 19% were proficient, against 39% statewide and 19% in the Livingston County district. Nearby schools averaged 43%, and even the lowest nearby result was 40%. Eighth-grade social studies and editing and mechanics were also low, at 27% each, compared with state rates of 39% and 42%. Some grade-subject results are suppressed, so a complete comparison between grades is not possible.

SchoolDigger places the school at the 16th percentile statewide with 1 star in 2025–2026, down from the 35th percentile in 2023–2024; it was at the 67th percentile in 2021–2022. Eighth-grade math also declined, from 37% proficient in 2023–2024 to 19% in 2025–2026. Context for families: the student-teacher ratio was 17.4 in 2024–2025, the highest among nearby schools, and 63% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that school year, the second-highest nearby rate. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves Low Socio Economic Status Students fell to the 7th percentile in 2025–2026, from the 47th percentile in 2023–2024; its measure for Female Students was at the 4th percentile, down from 37 the prior year.
