Best Public Schools in Zip Code 77351

The seven public schools in zip code 77351 (Livingston, TX) are all part of the Livingston Independent School District (Isd), serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade in a community where economic disadvantage rates range from 48% to 80% across campuses.

For parents, the standout school is Timber Creek Elementary, which consistently outperforms its peers and the state in 5th-grade math (67.59% proficient vs. state 47.38%) despite 73% of its students being economically disadvantaged. In contrast, Creekside Elementary faces the highest poverty rate (80%) and struggles with critically low 5th-grade science scores (16.48% proficient). At the middle school level, Livingston J H is a math powerhouse for advanced students, with 87.69% proficiency on the Algebra I End-of-Course exam, far exceeding the district (48.25%) and state (54.03%). However, this success does not carry over to Livingston High School, where only 38.15% of 9th graders are proficient in Algebra I, and overall high school performance has stagnated in the 25th to 36th percentile range over three years. The Livingston H S Academy, an alternative campus with only 13 students, spends 50% more per student ($16,146) but achieves the worst outcomes, including a 76.7% graduation rate and 0% proficiency in U.S. History.

Key takeaways for families: Elementary math is a district-wide weakness except at Timber Creek, while Livingston J.H. offers a strong advanced math pipeline. The district overall ranks in the 39th percentile statewide (2 stars), and per-student spending is roughly $10,600-$10,900 at main campuses. Parents should note that Pine Ridge Pri serves only pre-kindergarten through kindergarten, making it a starting point before transitioning to other elementary schools.
