Haven, Kansas, has three schools serving prekindergarten through grade 12: Haven Elementary (PK–6, 348 students), Haven Middle School (grades 7–8, 118 students), and Haven High (grades 9–12, 223 students). Their 2025–2026 results show an uneven academic picture: science is a strength across the schools, while all-grades ELA and math results vary considerably. Most notably, math proficiency ranges from 46% at Elementary to 29% at High, an 18-point difference.
Haven Elementary stands out in ELA and math, with 52% proficient in ELA and 46% in math—6 and 5 points above the state, respectively. Haven High is lowest in both subjects: 38% in ELA and 29% in math, 8 and 12 points below the state. Science is the counterpoint: all three schools exceed the state’s 38% result. Elementary leads at 63%, while High reaches 48% and Haven Middle School records 41%. Middle’s science result is 3 points above the state despite below-state ELA and math results.
Results are changing differently by subject. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, the three-school ELA average rose 3 points and moved closer to the state, while the math average fell 2 points as the state rose 2; math improved at Elementary but declined at Middle and High. SchoolDigger’s latest rankings put Elementary and High at the 59th and 60th percentiles, respectively, with three stars each, and Middle at the 42nd percentile with two stars. Elementary’s student–teacher ratio is 13.2 and its free/reduced-lunch rate is 51%; High’s are 9.2 and 36%, while Middle’s are 13.1 and 46%. Elementary also has the highest reported chronic absenteeism, at 22%, compared with 10% at High and 6% at Middle. These are broad comparisons across different grade spans, and context measures do not explain or cause test results.
