The Livingston District consists of two separate legal entities. School District #4 is an elementary district for grades K-8 and consists of three elementary schools and one middle school. Park High School is designated District #1 and serves grades 9-12. The elementary district is governed by a 7 member board of trustees. (See Livingston School Board.) These trustees also serve as trustees for the high school district. The high school district has an additional 2 trustees to represent the surrounding elementary districts of Arrowhead, Pine Creek, and Springdale.

Curriculum
The district recognizes the developmental nature of children and therefore structures curriculum to challenge children of differing abilities. Primary and intermediate grades emphasize reading and writing skills, as well as math fundamentals. The middle school continues to emphasis reading and writing while providing students an opportunity to explore a variety of subject areas. Park High School students choose from a broad curriculum which balances college preparatory and vocational classes.
