Livingston High School reports uptick in AP participation and college applications; testing picture mixed
Summary
District staff presented Livingston High School data showing increases in AP exam participation and the number of college applications and acceptances for the class of 2025, while SAT/ACT scores showed slight dips; counselors outlined outreach and upcoming college‑admissions events.
District staff and counselors presented highlights from Livingston High School's class of 2025 and early indicators for the class of 2026 during the superintendent report on Jan. 6.
What was reported: the class of 2025 submitted a larger number of college applications and received more acceptances overall; AP exam participation and the share scoring 3 or higher rose. Staff noted increased early‑decision and early‑action application activity, particularly to New York State institutions, and described efforts to expand college and career programming, including college counseling events and trade/CTE exposure.
Testing trends: staff said more students are taking the SAT and ACT but average scores showed some slight dips in reading/writing and math across the five‑year snapshot; counselors recommended continued advising and testing plans tailored to individual students, citing some institutions returning to required test scores.
Outreach and next steps: the school counseling department highlighted recorded resources, a spring consortium event with participating colleges, and renewed emphasis on trade and technical pathways; board members asked about outreach to less‑proactive students and vo‑tech partnerships, and staff described existing county vo‑tech collaborations.
