The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Secondary Schools since 1965.
As of the 2010-11 school year, the school had an enrollment of 669 students and 77.3 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 8.65:1. There were 8 students (1.2% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 4 (0.6% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.
The school was built in 1960 on the site of a former Nike Missile Control Station in the Murray Hill section of Berkeley Heights. It is the sole secondary school for students from Berkeley Heights and Mountainside for grades 9-12, who attend the district's high school as part of a sending/receiving relationship with the Mountainside School District. The high school's namesake is William Livingston, the first Governor of New Jersey and a signatory of the United States Constitution. The Royal Stewart tartan of the Stewart Clan (of whom Livingston was a member) is a symbol of the school and the tartan's red and blue colors are the high school's colors, as well.

“Ah, Governor [Murphy, of New Jersey], don’t try to deceive me as to the sentiment of the dear people. I have been hearing from the West and the East, and the South seems to be the only section which approves of me at all, and that comes from merely a generous impulse, for even that section would deny me its votes.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“She gave high counsels. It was the privilege of certain boys to have this immeasurably high standard indicated to their childhood; a blessing which nothing else in education could supply.”
