Summary

Livermore Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 244 students in grades PK-5 in Livermore, Kentucky, which is part of the McLean County School District. While the district is ranked 72 out of 157 in Kentucky and has a 3-star rating, Livermore Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the county and state averages in most subject areas and grade levels over the past few years.

The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics, Reading, and Science were significantly lower than the McLean County and Kentucky averages in the 2024-2025 school year. Additionally, Livermore Elementary has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 16% to 28% over the past few years, which is much higher than the state average. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, nearby schools such as Marie Gatton Phillips Elementary and Calhoun Elementary have generally outperformed Livermore Elementary in academic metrics, with higher proficiency rates and better rankings. Calhoun Elementary, in particular, has consistently been one of the top-performing elementary schools in the region, ranking in the top 25% of Kentucky elementary schools. Despite the relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratio at Livermore Elementary, the school's academic performance has not been commensurate with the resources invested, suggesting the need for a re-evaluation of resource allocation and instructional practices.
