Summary

Oakhaven Elementary School is a PK-5 public school in Memphis, TN, serving 496 students in the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district. The school has undergone a striking turnaround: in 2020-2021, it ranked in the 0th percentile among Tennessee elementary schools, but by 2025-2026, it had climbed to the 53rd percentile with a 3-star rating. That shift from near-bottom to above the state median makes Oakhaven one of the most improved elementary schools in the region.

Academically, Oakhaven now compares favorably with Tennessee statewide averages. Math proficiency stands at 44.8%, essentially tied with the state's 43.0% and double the district's 22.1%. ELA proficiency is 48.0%, above the 40.6% statewide and well above the 24.6% district average. Science is the one area that lags, at 41.3% versus 46.9% statewide, though it remains far ahead of the district's 28.4%. Among nearby schools, only Freedom Prep Elementary - Millbranch School ranks higher in overall percentile, and Oakhaven actually beats it in math (44.8% vs. 37.2%). Other nearby schools such as Robert R. Church Elementary School (28th percentile), Parkway Village Elementary School (21st), and Southern Avenue Charter School Of Academic Excellence Creati (15th) all trail well behind. Oakhaven is particularly effective with English language learners, ranking in the 95th percentile statewide, and with low-income students, in the 86th percentile.

Oakhaven achieves these results while spending about $14,257 per student — less than several nearby schools with far weaker outcomes. The school has also cut chronic absenteeism from 45.4% to 30.0% in two years, though that rate remains above the state average of 18.3%. Attendance is the clearest opportunity for continued gains, along with closing the science gap. If the current trajectory holds, Oakhaven could become one of the stronger elementary schools in Tennessee rather than simply a standout in a low-performing district.

What people are saying

by a teacher
Monday, March 11, 2019

The school has incompetent teachers and administrators. I witnessed reading teachers unable to read the word united, Missouri Compromise, as well as a lack of general knowledge. The social studies teacher did not know who Winston Churchill was. Every day the principal would say see you on tomorrow. No clue that a preposition is not needed. I continually saw a lack of caring and bullying behavior by the PLC Coach. The school is an awful place to be and the admin team tries to intimidate instead of model lessons or get involved. The sad part is I seriously doubt the PLC Coach has any business teaching anything. That probably explains her poor attitude and her desire to intimidate others. They all need to learn how to smile and say have a great day. I am blessed to be out of there and at a school that thrives. Our administration goes out of their way to be kind to everyone.
