Summary:
Zip code 38570 in Livingston, Tennessee, is served by one high school — Livingston Academy — which enrolls 773 students in grades 9 through 12 and is part of the Overton County Schools district. Because it is the only high school in this zip code, the school-level data mirrors the district-level high school data exactly across nearly every metric, making it the sole focus for parents in this area.
Livingston Academy has earned a 3-star rating from the state for three consecutive years, currently ranking 186th out of 400 Tennessee high schools (53rd percentile). Academically, the school shows a clear strength in science: Biology I proficiency reached 59.0% in 2025–2026, 9.2 percentage points above the state average, and it was also above the state the previous year. However, US History proficiency is a major outlier at just 6.3%, a stunning 36.1 points below the state average of 42.4%. Math performance is mixed: Algebra I is above the state average (+3.5 points) and strong for 9th graders, but Algebra II (-7.2) and Geometry (-12.1) lag well behind. English I and English II are also slightly below state averages.
On the positive side, Livingston Academy graduates students at a slightly higher rate than the state (91.6% vs. 90.5%) and has a much lower dropout rate (4.5% vs. 6.7%). The biggest red flag is chronic absenteeism: 25.5% of students are chronically absent, compared to 17.8% for the district and 18.3% statewide. This may be undermining performance in weaker subjects. The school's relative ranking has slipped from 60th percentile (2024–2025) to 53rd (2025–2026), indicating a downward trend among Tennessee high schools. Per-student spending is $10,469, though free/reduced lunch data and student-teacher ratios were not reported, limiting full context on socioeconomic factors and class sizes.
