Livingston Elementary has become a haven for my son. Over the last few years, the school administration has really stepped up and provided a welcoming and supportive environment for all children, but especially those who have special needs. They understand how to handle overwhelming sensory experiences and have staff who excel at making connections and navigating the unique experiences of their special needs kids. Except for his year in kindergarten, my child with ASD has had great experiences. The staff is phenomenal and as a result, my child has blossomed, and even more so this year than expected. School administrators are also top notch. I wholeheartedly recommend this school to any parent seeking a school where students and staff love, laugh, and learn together.

As A Former Student Of This Is School Now In High School, THIS SCHOOL IS HORRIBLE, The School Is Extremely Dirty, All The Teachers Do Is Just Yell At Kids For Stupid Things, The School NEVER Deals With Bullying Problems, Its Like All This School Cares About Is Money.

My children have been at Livingston for close to 3 years now. My youngest is kindergarten and is miserable every single day. The last conference I had I had with his teacher I asked for an IEP evaluation and she flat out told me it's too much work. Last year he came home in tears several times because his "teacher hates him". Their are multiply staff members that have no business teaching anymore. The new principle never returns phones calls. And the nurse things she a doctor that can dignose your children with sicknesses they don't have. I have nothing good to say about this school. It's a shame because my children have made great friends. But the staff is under trained and lacking compassion.

I am a parent of a third greater at Livingston Elementary. And my oldest child also attended Livingston. And I fell in love with it when she attended. The teacher's and staff are warm and inviting. They always make parents feel welcomed and encourage parents too participate in their child's education. I appreciate their approach and value their attentiveness with preventing bullying. I always feel my child is safe and well taking care of. The new principal is doing a terrific job improving the school. He's always working on ways to help better the students. I'm not sure why our school test scores are so low because I don't see that reflection in my child's education but I look forward to seeing improvement and better results in the future. I also appreciate how the PTO work together too help improve the quality of the school and help further the education of the students.

My child has attended Livingston since Pre-K, and we loved the school, however the last two years have been dreadful. The school does not purchase necessary tools for the teachers to post grades, they no longer have a PTO, and test scores continue to decline. DO NOT by any means allow your child to attend this school unless you want to set them up for failure.

Livingston is a great school & the staff is awesome...They're really involved in each child's growth (educational,maturity,nutrition,well being etc). I'm so happy that my children have/had the opportunity to attend an award winning school as Liviningston... I beieve in the saying: It takes a village to raise one...I always constantly hear wonderful comments outside the halls of Livingston how my children speak and their guine mannerism. I know the village that helped me was Livingston Elem family...
