Haven Middle School consistently ranks in the top 20-25% of Illinois middle schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics are significantly higher than the state averages, with 68.2% and 53.5% proficiency respectively in the 2024-2025 school year. Haven Middle School outperforms the Evanston CCSD 65 district in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. However, the school struggles with the performance of African American, Hispanic, and Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) students, ranking in the bottom 50% of Illinois middle schools for these subgroups.

Haven Middle School performs better academically than the nearby Nichols Middle School and Chute Middle School, which are also part of the Evanston CCSD 65 district. However, the school lags behind the high-performing Marie Murphy School (Avoca School District 37) and the Wilmette schools (Wilmette School District 39) in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency. Additionally, Haven Middle School has a concerning trend of increasing chronic absenteeism, which warrants further investigation and targeted interventions.
