About Philip Livingston Magnet Academy
Philip Livingston Magnet Academy served students as a junior high and middle school from 1932 until the end of the 2008-09 school year. Click here to read more about the graduation ceremonies for Livingston's final class of eighth-grade graduates on June 25, 2009.

 

The architecturally significant school continues to serve students as the home of the Tutorial Opportunity Program for Students (TOPS) and the Adult Learning Center. Livingston also is the headquarters of the district's Food Services operation.

 

The school is home to excellent athletic facilities, computer labs, a library, a dance studio, a drama studio and an auditorium that seats 1,100. The auditorium once was used by the Albany Symphony as its practice hall.

 

Tivoli Lakes Park, New York state's second-largest urban wildlife preserve, is located directly behind the school, providing the school access to an 82-acre natural environmental laboratory.

 

2009-10 middle school enrollment

With the middle school program at Philip Livingston Magnet Academy closing after the 2008-09 school year due to declining enrollment, the City School District of Albany has transitioned to a feeder enrollment model for middle school students beginning in 2009-10. Students from designated elementary schools will be assigned to either Stephen and Harriet Myers Middle School or William S. Hackett Middle School. Each school will enroll about 650 students. Students in the elementary program at North Albany Academy will continue on in that school's middle-level program, which will serve about 150 students in grades 6-8.

 

Livingston students in grades 6-7 during the 2008-09 were able to choose Hackett, Myers or North Albany Academy for 2009-10. Families living within a half-mile of Livingston also had the option of choosing Hackett or Myers under the neighborhood zone policy. Visit the Middle School Enrollment section for more information.
