Live Oak Middle School stands out for its exceptional academic performance and student engagement. The school consistently outperforms both district and state averages in core subjects, with particularly strong results in English Language Arts (87% proficiency) and Mathematics (77% proficiency) on the 2025-2026 LEAP tests. Perhaps most impressive is the school's remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of just 4.3%, which is roughly one-third of the district average (13.3%) and one-fifth of the state average (22.5%).

A particularly noteworthy finding is that Live Oak Middle School achieves these strong results despite over two-thirds (67.71%) of its students being economically disadvantaged. This suggests an effective and supportive school environment. While ELA and Math are clear strengths, Social Studies proficiency (65%) is a relative area for improvement, especially in 6th grade where it falls slightly below the district average. The school also shows positive momentum in Math, with proficiency increasing from 74% to 77% year-over-year. With a student-teacher ratio of 17.9:1, the school provides a focused learning environment that supports its high academic standards.
