Similarly, Washington Elementary and Livingston Elementary are both high-performing elementary schools with 3-star ratings and test scores above the district and state averages.
However, the district as a whole struggles with test scores, with most schools performing below the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. The high school, Union High School, has relatively low test scores, with only 43.4% proficient or better in English Language Arts and 6.3% proficient or better in Algebra I. Additionally, the district faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools, which likely contribute to the overall academic performance.
