Original Research by School Decision on Pineywood Community Academy - Livingston
Pineywood Community Academy in Livingston is a satellite location of Pineywoods Community Academy, a Texas charter that opened this campus in the area to serve grades nine through twelve. However, the school has closed and is no longer operational. Enrollment figures, demographic data, academic performance, and current program details are not available because the school is no longer in operation.
The campus was located on U.S. 59 Loop in Livingston, a small county seat in the Piney Woods of East Texas, roughly midway between Houston and the Louisiana border. Livingston's economy centers on government, corrections, health care, and manufacturing. The town has seen mixed demographic signals in recent projections, with some estimates showing growth and others suggesting modest decline, though recent development has tilted toward health care and senior-oriented housing. Home prices in the area have risen modestly, and the broader region is evolving as U.S. 59 undergoes long-term planning for upgrade to Interstate 69.
Before closure, this location was part of a district operating on a four-day school week (Monday through Thursday) beginning in the 2023-2024 school year, the first such schedule in Angelina County. The parent organization, Pineywoods Community Academy, operates an Early College High School program allowing students to earn both a high school diploma and an associate degree, certification, or college credit hours through partnership with Angelina College. Students in that program receive a laptop for school and home use. The Livingston satellite was positioned specifically to extend dual-credit pathways to families in the area who wanted high school students to pursue college credit while completing secondary education.
Since the school is no longer operational, families seeking middle or high school options in Livingston would need to look to public schools in Livingston ISD or other charter alternatives in the region.
