Summary:
The city of Conway, Arkansas is home to a single public high school, Conway High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, dropping from 42nd out of 295 Arkansas high schools in 2022-2023 to 111th out of 291 in 2024-2025, its performance on standardized tests is mixed, scoring above the state average in some subjects but below in others.
Compared to the Conway School District as a whole, Conway High School's performance is generally lower across the board, with the district outperforming the school in most subject areas. Additionally, the high school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 46% in 2023-2024, and a student-teacher ratio of 16.8, which is slightly higher than the state average.
Despite these challenges, the school district's spending per student for the 2018-2019 school year was $8,949, which suggests that there may be opportunities to better allocate resources and support strategies to improve student outcomes at Conway High School. Understanding the underlying factors contributing to the school's declining performance and exploring ways to align with the district's best practices could help identify areas for improvement and better support the success of students in this community.
