Summary

Livingston Elementary is a PK-5 school in Spotsylvania, VA, serving 479 students in a community where about 65% of families qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school belongs to Spotsylvania County Public Schools, a district ranked in the bottom third of Virginia districts. Livingston has declined sharply in recent years — from the 56th percentile statewide in 2021-22 to the 9th percentile in 2025-26, ranking 1,010th out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools. That makes it the lowest-ranked of every comparable nearby school, including Brock Road Elementary, Courtland Elementary, Courthouse Road Elementary, and Parkside Elementary.

The most striking academic concern is in the upper grades. In 2025-26, just 37% of 5th graders passed the math SOL, compared to 70% across the district and 72% statewide. Only 42% passed 5th grade reading and 45% passed science, while 4th grade Virginia Studies proficiency was just 34% — roughly half the district and state averages. These gaps are far larger than at nearby schools with similar demographics. Early grades are a relative strength: in 2022-23, 3rd graders scored above district and state averages in both math and reading, suggesting that performance drops sharply as students move through the school.

Chronic absenteeism is another concern — at 21.3%, it is the highest of all nearby schools and above both district (19.6%) and state (14.8%) averages. Even Berkeley Elementary, which has a higher poverty rate, reports just 9.4% chronic absenteeism and a much higher state ranking. Livingston spends $10,146 per student, more than most nearby schools, yet outcomes trail many lower-spending schools. One bright spot: Hispanic students placed in the 32nd percentile among Virginia schools serving Hispanic students, the school's strongest subgroup result. Overall, the combination of high absenteeism, declining subgroup effectiveness, and above-average spending points to school-level challenges that go beyond student demographics.

What people are saying

by a parent
Monday, January 7, 2013

My kids are always coming home sick. It says on the front door they are an accredited school, but they are no longer. I used to babysit for two families whom took their kids out because of the poor faculity. If you ever have a complaint for this school in person, they will all laugh when you walk into the door; thinking you are stupid for bringing up the school issues. My son has gotten bullied for two years and not a single person has done anything. I am pulling my kids from this school, myself and three other parents, to homeschool through www.k12.com.
