Summary:
Haven Public Schools has only one middle school, Haven Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school's performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating from 73rd out of 362 Kansas middle schools in 2022-2023 to 253rd out of 362 in 2023-2024, and then improving to 190th out of 363 in 2024-2025.
Haven Middle School's academic performance is generally lower than the district and state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (38.92%), Mathematics (36.27%), and Science (30.15%) were all below the Haven Public Schools and state averages. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5%, which is higher than the state average.
Despite the school's challenges, it appears to have significant resources allocated to it, with a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.3 and per-student spending of $12,795 for the 2018-2019 school year, which is higher than the national average. However, these resources have not yet translated into consistently strong academic outcomes for the school. The school's performance may be impacted by the high proportion of students (48.8%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high percentage of students from low-income families.
