South Livingston Elementary School had the highest enrollment among Livingston County schools, welcoming 464 students during the 2022-23 school year, according to the Kentucky Department of Education.

Of all the students welcomed in the 2022-23 school year, 57.1% of them were boys, and 42.9% were girls.

Data also showed that the majority of students were white, making up 87.7% of South Livingston Elementary School's total enrollment.

Among the four schools in Livingston County, Livingston Central High School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 368 students, while Livingston County Middle School welcomed 288 students and ranked third in the 2022-23 school year.

South Livingston Elementary School is part of Livingston County School District, which roughly covers schools within Livingston County and has a main office in Smithland.

In the previous school year, South Livingston Elementary School also had the highest number of students among Livingston County schools.

Kentucky is in the midst of a statewide teacher shortage as turnover rates spiked to 10.9% in 2023, up from an 8.9% nine-year average. This issue is more prominent in schools with more low-income and minority students.

Data also shows that between 2019 and 2023, there was an increase of 260% in the number of available teaching posts in Kentucky schools. This often leads to larger class sizes, combining programs, and retaining staff despite potential negative impacts on teacher working conditions.
