Summary

South Haven Elementary is a public elementary school in Lexington, Tennessee that serves grades PK-8 with a student population of 358. The school is part of the Henderson County School District, which is ranked 36 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

South Haven Elementary has consistently ranked in the top 50% of Tennessee elementary schools, with strong performance on TNReady assessments, particularly in mathematics and science. The school excels in 3rd grade math and science, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the county and state averages. However, the school's English Language Arts performance is more mixed, with some grades performing above the county and state, while others are below. South Haven Elementary also performs well with its low socioeconomic status students, ranking in the top 22% of Tennessee elementary schools for this subgroup.

While South Haven Elementary maintains a stable 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, the school faces some challenges, including relatively high chronic absenteeism rates and disparities in performance between different student subgroups. Addressing these areas could be a priority for the school as it works to build on its strengths in mathematics and science. Overall, South Haven Elementary appears to be a solid-performing school within the Henderson County district.
