Summary

Havenview Middle is a public magnet middle school in Memphis, Tennessee, serving 754 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district, which is ranked 135 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Havenview Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Tennessee middle schools over the past several years.

Havenview Middle significantly underperforms compared to the district and state in academic proficiency across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 6.4% of Havenview students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 22.6% for the district and 42.2% for the state. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.6% to 29.5% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Havenview's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as female students, male students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, all of which rank in the bottom 10% of Tennessee middle schools.

When comparing Havenview Middle to nearby schools, the differences in academic performance are stark. For instance, Power Center Academy Middle, a public charter school located about 8 miles away, outperforms Havenview Middle across all subjects and grade levels, with significantly higher proficiency rates. Despite Havenview's challenges, the school's per-student spending and student-teacher ratio are comparable to nearby district schools, suggesting that the school's underperformance is not solely due to a lack of funding or resources.
