Livingston High School is a four-year comprehensive public high school that serves students in ninth through twelfth grades from Livingston, in Essex County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, operating as part of the Livingston Public Schools. It receives all eighth grade graduates from Heritage Middle School and is the only district's only high school. The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Elementary and Secondary Schools since 1958.[7]

Livingston High School offers 28 Advanced Placement (AP) courses within eight department areas. The school's principal is Danielle Rosenzweig; her administration team includes three assistant principals.[1]

As of the 2022–23 school year, the school had an enrollment of 2,066 students and 187.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 11.1:1. There were 24 students (1.2% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 18 (0.9% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.[2]

Building and facilities[edit]

In 2011, LHS completed a $50 million renovation and expansion project featuring a new science wing, orchestra room, atrium and a "fitness and wellness center" (Gymnasium with Weight room). The cafeteria, auditorium, digital design room, freshmen locker room, and TV studio were also refurbished. Existing areas of the building, originally built in 1953, was upgraded with new technology including, a new security system, centralized HVAC, a fire safety system as well as new audio-visual equipment for every class room.[8] The project was paid for with the proceeds of a $51.5 million bond issue approved in a 2005 referendum and included the addition and renovation of more than 160,000 square feet (15,000 m2) of space.[9]

Awards, recognition and rankings[edit]

For the 1997–98 school year, Livingston High School was recognized with the National Blue Ribbon Award of Excellence from the United States Department of Education, the highest honor that an American school can achieve.[10]

In its listing of "America's Best High Schools 2016", the school was ranked 383rd out of 500 best high schools in the country; it was ranked 44th among all high schools in New Jersey and 27th among the state's non-magnet schools.[11]

The school was ranked 9th in New Jersey, 3rd among non-magnet schools, and 142nd in the nation in the Newsweek 2013 report on "America's Best High Schools".[12] The school was ranked 153rd in the nation and 13th in New Jersey on the list of "America's Best High Schools 2012" prepared by The Daily Beast / Newsweek, with rankings based primarily on graduation rate, matriculation rate for college and number of Advanced Placement / International Baccalaureate courses taken per student, with lesser factors based on average scores on the SAT / ACT, average AP/IB scores and the number of AP/IB courses available to students.[13] Prior to 2011, Newsweek used a different methodology with calculation derived only from a single factor.[14][15] In Newsweek's June 8, 2009, issue, ranking the country's top high schools, Livingston High School was listed as the 25th-highest ranked school in New Jersey. The ranking was calculated using one main factor that is the ratio of Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate or Cambridge tests given at a school.[16]

The school was the 8th-ranked public high school in New Jersey out of 305 schools statewide in New Jersey Monthly magazine's September 2018 cover story on the state's "Top Public High Schools", using a new ranking methodology.[17] The school had been ranked 24th in the state of 328 schools in 2012, after being ranked 22nd in 2010 out of 322 schools listed.[18] The magazine ranked the school 20th in 2008 out of 316 schools.[19] The school was ranked 14th in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which included 316 schools across the state.[20]

Livingston High School has a history of success in academics and the arts. Recent accomplishments are:[21]
