Summary:
Zip code 67140 has two schools in South Haven: South Haven Elementary, serving prekindergarten through grade 5, and South Haven High, serving grades 6–12. Together, they enroll 220 students. Results vary notably by subject: in 2025–2026, the elementary school was above the state in all-grades English and math, while the high school was below state results in all three subjects. Across the two schools, math was the relative bright spot and science the clearest shared concern, with the schools’ average science result 10 percentage points below the state.
The elementary school had the higher all-grades results in English (51% versus 36%, a 16-point gap) and math (49% versus 38%, an 11-point gap); the high school was higher in science (33% versus 22%, an 11-point gap). These are not same-grade comparisons, since the schools have no tested grades in common in the supplied results. Grade-level results show why averages need context: elementary grade 4 was well above state in English and math, by 25 and 39 points, while grade 5 was below state by 18 and 28 points. At the high school, grades 7 and 10 were above state in English, and both reported math grades were above state. SchoolDigger ranks the high school in the 79th percentile with 4 stars, compared with the elementary school in the 52nd percentile with 3 stars.
Math results improved at both schools from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: up 15 points at the elementary school and 10 points at the high school. English moved differently: elementary results rose 1 point, while high-school results fell 3 points; high-school science, by contrast, rebounded 23 points but remained 5 points below state. Context measures are similar for income, with free/reduced-lunch rates of 38.0% and 38.3%, while chronic absenteeism was higher at the high school—23% versus 17% at the elementary school and 18% statewide. Student–teacher ratios were 10.1 at the high school and 9 at the elementary school; these figures describe the schools but do not explain their test results.
