Summary

Oakhaven Elementary is a public elementary school in Memphis, Tennessee, serving 523 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district, which is ranked 135 out of 139 districts in the state.

Oakhaven Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Tennessee elementary schools over the past several years, with low proficiency rates on state assessments that are significantly below the state and district averages. The school's performance is particularly concerning in mathematics and science, where proficiency rates are more than 15 percentage points below the state averages. However, Oakhaven has shown some strengths in serving specific student subgroups, such as English Language Learners and students with disabilities, ranking among the top schools in the state for these populations.

Compared to nearby schools in the Memphis-Shelby County district, such as Freedom Prep Elementary - Millbranch, Robert R. Church Elementary, and Sharpe Elementary, Oakhaven's academic performance is generally lower. These nearby schools, while still struggling with low performance, have higher proficiency rates and better rankings than Oakhaven across most subject areas and grade levels. Addressing the high rates of chronic absenteeism at Oakhaven, which range from 18.9% to 41.5%, could be a crucial step in improving student outcomes.

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.
