Education The Gadsden County School District operates Havana Magnet School, which serves elementary and middle school grades. Gadsden County High School (formerly East Gadsden High School), outside of the city limits, is the only zoned high school in the county. Previously the Havana area had three schools: Havana Elementary School, Havana Middle School, and Havana Northside High School. Havana Elementary began using the Accelerated School program in Spring 1995 in order to improve academic performance. In 2001 Havana Elementary, which occupied an area, had about 100 employees and 1,000 students; most of the students were low income, and 95% of the students were from African-American families. In 2003 Havana Northside High School and James A. Shanks High School in Quincy consolidated into East Gadsden High. In 2017 the high school section of West Gadsden High School consolidated into East Gadsden High, leaving the latter as the only remaining zoned high school in the county.
