GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Theres a lot that Livingston can change but within their budgetary constraints they have done the best job they could have. The best part about Livingston Academy was if you wanted to excel and go to college, they were going to do what they could to get you there. The most they did for college readiness was to make sure you got there, however. The best real way the get ready for college was the take Dual-Enrollment classes which was a blessing to be able to do. Overall, the staff does there best with what they have and try and give the students a fair and good chance at doing what they want as long as they show some passion for it.

My school is in a rural area of Tennessee. We do not have a lot of diversity with different ethnicities or cultures. It would be amazing if we could be introduced to more diversity. It could be something as small as introducing new food in our lunchroom. We could have fun inspirational speakers come speak at our school and tell us about their country. It could also include people with special needs. Shine a little light on their day to day life.

The best part about Livingston academy is that it's not a big school but it's not too small either. All the teachers know you by name and all of them are very kind and eager to help you in any way. The sports teams and other extracurricular activities are very good as well. The only bad part about the school is one of the bathrooms isn't the best but the underclass men is what makes it bad. But the other two bathrooms is very nice and clean. The principals is very nice and kind and they will help you in any way as well.

This place is a awful. Only about half of the teachers are good people. Many of them you can tell just don’t care and are not good at teaching. Administration is terrible and has been for the last 3 years. They will look the other way over big things that actually effect students but will make sure...

I am a graduate of Livingston Academy. The teachers were great, the curriculum was above average, and the school itself is above average. This small town school is like family for everyone who attends, and you will graduate knowing you got a great education. The sports at LA are also above average p...
