Summary

Havenview Middle School is a grade 6–8 middle school in Memphis, Tennessee, serving 696 students within the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district. On state report cards, Havenview has consistently ranked in the bottom tier of Tennessee middle schools, placing in the 5th percentile with 0 stars for the 2025–2026 school year and earning similarly low ratings in the previous three years. Its math and English Language Arts proficiency rates remain well below district and state averages, while science and social studies are comparatively stronger subjects.

One notable bright spot is attendance. Just 10.6% of Havenview students were chronically absent in 2024–2025, compared to 30.2% for the district and 18.3% for the state. Among nearby schools, only Power Center Academy Middle School had a comparable rate, while Sherwood Middle School, A. Maceo Walker Middle School, and Oakhaven Middle School were far higher. Science is also an emerging area of relative strength: proficiency rose from 11.4% in 2022–2023 to roughly 19–20% in the last two years, a level that compares favorably with several neighboring schools. This suggests students are showing up consistently and making measurable gains in at least one subject.

The main challenge is core academic achievement. In 2025–2026, only 7.7% of Havenview students were proficient in math and 10.1% in ELA, against state averages of 43% and 40.6%, respectively. Nearby A. Maceo Walker Middle School posted more than double Havenview's math proficiency, while Maxine Smith STEAM Academy — also in the same district — achieved 60.7% math proficiency, demonstrating that strong results are possible locally. Havenview spends $13,076 per student, a mid-range amount among nearby schools. The combination of strong attendance and improving science scores provides a foundation the school could build on to raise math and ELA outcomes.
