Live Oak High School is a public high school located in Watson in unincorporated Livingston Parish, Louisiana, United States.
The school's mascot is the eagle. Live Oak School began in 1895 when the Reverend Joel Ott donated a parcel of land for a community school. The citizens of Watson built a one room schoolhouse about 20 x 25 feet. The room was built of cypress from trees of the Amite River swamps and boasted one front door and six open windows. This public school was open three months of the year: June, July, and August.[1]
In May, 2007, voters in the Live Oak School district passed a half cent sales tax to build a new high school. The current school will be converted into a second middle school for the area. The new high school will be located north of the present location on Hwy 16.[2]
On September 6, 2007, the Louisiana Department of Education released School Performance Scores (SPS). Live Oak High School scored 100.7. The average score in the state is 85. LOHS ranked a Three Star School, and is ranked in the top 10% of high schools in Louisiana, traditionally scoring above local, state and national averages on standardized tests.[3]
