Summary

Oakhaven High School is a public high school in Memphis, TN, serving 341 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district. While the district ranks in the bottom 3% of Tennessee school districts, Oakhaven has emerged as the strongest traditional high school in its immediate area, climbing from the 3rd percentile statewide in 2020–21 to the 32nd percentile with a 2-star rating in 2025–26.

For parents comparing schools in this part of Memphis, Oakhaven's academic results are a bright spot. In 2025–26, the school posted a 47.8% proficiency rate in English II—more than double the rates at Wooddale High School (22.7%), Sheffield High School (18.2%), and Invictus Academy at Airways (8.9%). Oakhaven also matched or exceeded district averages in English II, Biology I, and Algebra II, and earned 3-star ratings for its African American, Hispanic, and low-income students—placing the school at or above the statewide median for these groups.

However, there are real concerns. Chronic absenteeism spiked to 42.8% in 2024–25, up from just 12.2% the previous year, and the graduation rate dropped to 78.6%—below the district average of 84.1% but still higher than Hillcrest High School (68.3%) and Wooddale (73.7%). The school spends about $16,161 per student, less than several nearby schools that post weaker results, suggesting Oakhaven is using its resources effectively. Families should weigh the school's clear academic momentum against these recent attendance and persistence challenges.
