Summary:
Two middle schools in the Livingston Board of Education School District serve grades 6–8: Mount Pleasant Middle School serves grade 6, and Heritage Middle School serves grades 7–8. In the reported results, both schools are well above state proficiency rates in every subject and grade shown. The clearest shared strength is math: all three grade-level results are at least 33 points above the state rate.
Mount Pleasant has the largest state-relative margin among the grade-level math results: 77% proficient in grade 6, 37 points above the state’s 40%. Heritage is also strong in math, with grade 7 at 71% (33 points above state) and grade 8 at 56% (33 points above). For ELA, Heritage grade 8 leads the listed results at 83%, or 29 points above state; Heritage grade 7 is 80%, 24 points above state, while Mount Pleasant grade 6 is 79%, 28 points above. Heritage’s Algebra I end-of-course result is another standout: 99% proficient, 60 points above state. Because the schools serve different grades, these results do not establish an overall school-to-school ranking.
Recent changes are mixed rather than uniformly upward: Heritage grade 7 ELA fell 8 points and grade 7 math fell 7, while grade 8 math rose 7 points and science rose 2; Mount Pleasant grade 6 ELA fell 5 points, and its math rate was nearly unchanged, down less than 1 point. Across 10 matched results, the average state-relative gap narrowed by about 1 point, from 31.3 to 30.5 points. SchoolDigger ranks the district 21st of 607, in the 97th percentile, with 5 stars; Heritage’s SchoolDigger rank is 36th of 743 for 2025–26, compared with 27th of 752 the prior year. In 2024–25, student-teacher ratios were 12.0 at Heritage and 11.5 at Mount Pleasant; free/reduced lunch eligible rates were 2% and 4%, respectively. These measures offer context, not an explanation for test results.
