Havenview Middle

Summary:

Havenview Middle is a public middle school in Memphis, Tennessee, serving 676 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district, which is ranked 134 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Havenview Middle consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Tennessee middle schools, with only 7.6% of students proficient or better in Mathematics and 10.9% proficient or better in English Language Arts in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's performance is particularly low for female and male students, ranking in the bottom 10% of Tennessee middle schools for both groups. However, the school's performance for African American students and special education students is slightly better, ranking in the bottom 30% and top 50% of Tennessee middle schools, respectively. Despite having a relatively high per-student spending of $10,948 and a student-teacher ratio of 20.3, Havenview Middle's academic performance is consistently lower than nearby schools in the district, including Sherwood Middle and the charter schools Veritas College Preparatory and City University School Girls Preparatory.

The high percentage of African American and low-income students at Havenview Middle may be contributing to the school's low academic performance, as these student groups often face additional challenges and barriers to academic success. However, the school's relatively better performance for special education students suggests that it may have some effective strategies or practices in place for supporting these students. Addressing the unique challenges faced by Havenview Middle's predominantly African American and low-income student population, as well as exploring effective practices from higher-performing schools, may be crucial steps in driving meaningful improvements at the school.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
