Summary:
Zip code 77351 in Livingston, Texas, is home to two high schools within the Livingston Independent School District (Isd): the comprehensive Livingston High School and the much smaller alternative campus, Livingston H S Academy. These schools serve vastly different student populations, making direct comparisons challenging but highly informative for parents.
Livingston High School is the area's main campus with 1,147 students and shows a clear upward trend, improving from the 25th to the 36th percentile in state rankings. It boasts a strong graduation rate of 91.4% and a standout performance in Biology, where 68.73% of students are proficient—nearly matching the state average. However, the school struggles significantly in Algebra I, with only 38.15% of students proficient compared to the state's 54.03%. In contrast, Livingston H S Academy is a high-risk campus with just 13 students, ranking in the bottom 4% of Texas high schools. It has a dropout rate of 8.8%—nearly six times the district average—and a graduation rate of just 76.7%. Despite spending 48% more per student ($16,146) than the main high school, its academic outcomes are extremely low, with a U.S. History proficiency rate of only 28.57%.
The Academy's small size makes its data volatile; a single student's performance can dramatically shift percentages, so trends should be interpreted with caution. Overall, Livingston High School is a "middle of the pack" school showing strong recovery from a pandemic-era dip, while the Academy highlights the intense resources needed for a high-needs population. The district's middling rank (39th percentile) reflects the combined performance of these two very different schools, with the Academy's challenges pulling down overall metrics.
