Summary

Oakhaven Middle School serves 303 students in grades 6–8 in Memphis, TN, within the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district, a district that ranks 137th out of 141 in Tennessee. Oakhaven has historically placed in the bottom 10% of Tennessee middle schools, currently ranking 558 out of 594 schools with zero stars, and proficiency in every core subject falls below district and state averages.

The most urgent issue is math: just 5.1% of Oakhaven students are proficient, versus 22.1% for the district and 43.0% statewide — the lowest rate among nearby middle schools, including Power Center Academy Middle School at 27.0%, City University School Girls Preparatory at 20.3%, and Colonial Middle School at 19.0%. Chronic absenteeism is also a major concern: 41.4% of students were chronically absent in 2024–2025, up from 24.4% the year before and more than double the state rate of 18.3%. Only Sherwood Middle School (45.3%) and A. Maceo Walker Middle School (50.2%) had worse rates nearby.

There are bright spots worth knowing. Oakhaven's English Learner students ranked 1st out of 100 schools statewide in 2024–2025, earning 5 stars for that subgroup. Social studies (22.9% proficient) is close to the district rate of 28.7%, and science (16.3%) falls in the middle of the nearby pack. The school also rebounded significantly from its 2023–2024 crisis year, though gains have been uneven. At $12,947 per student, Oakhaven spends the least of any nearby middle school — Veritas College Preparatory School spends $19,447 — which raises real equity concerns. Attendance and math instruction are the two areas most likely to shape the school's path forward.
