Conway School District

Summary:

The Conway School District in Arkansas comprises 16 schools, including 10 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school, serving students from preschool through 12th grade.

Several schools in the district stand out for their exceptional performance. Ruth Doyle Middle School consistently ranks among the top middle schools in the state, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and high proficiency rates across all subject areas. Similarly, Julia Lee Moore Elementary School and Woodrow Cummins Elementary School are also top performers, ranking highly in the state for their exceptional results in English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science.

However, the data also reveals significant variation in school performance across the district, with some schools struggling to meet proficiency standards. The district's free and reduced lunch rates range from 38.62% at Woodrow Cummins Elementary to 98.85% at Sallie Cone Preschool, indicating a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds among the student populations. The district's spending per student also varies, from $8,351 at Woodrow Cummins Elementary to $13,359 at Jim Stone Elementary. These differences in resources and student populations may contribute to the observed disparities in academic performance across the district.
