Summary

Livingston County Middle School is a public middle school located in Burna, Kentucky, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 224 students. The school is part of the Livingston County School District, which is ranked 77 out of 157 districts in Kentucky and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Livingston County Middle School has consistently underperformed compared to the state average in most subject areas, with lower proficiency rates in mathematics, reading, science, and social studies. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in mathematics ranged from 30% to 39%, while the state average was 40% to 43%. In reading, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 38% to 47%, compared to the state average of 42% to 52%. The school's performance has been declining over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 85 out of 282 Kentucky middle schools in 2020-2021 to 245 out of 320 in 2024-2025. Livingston County Middle School has also struggled to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, particularly male students, white students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Despite the higher spending per student at Livingston County Middle School, ranging from $13,700 to $21,788 in recent years, the school has a higher student-teacher ratio (16-17 students per teacher) compared to some of the nearby schools, such as North Marshall Middle School and Lyon County Middle School, which have lower student-teacher ratios (15-16 students per teacher). This suggests that the higher spending may not be directly translating into smaller class sizes or more personalized instruction for students. Additionally, Livingston County Middle School's higher chronic absenteeism and dropout rates compared to the state average and nearby schools may be contributing to its lower academic performance.
