Despite the school's higher spending per student, which has ranged from $9,633 to $12,072 in recent years, Conway Middle has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages in standardized test scores, including FAST/English Language Arts, FAST/Math, and Statewide Science/Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were significantly lower than the district and state averages in FAST/English Language Arts (6th grade: 46% vs. 59% and 60%, 7th grade: 42% vs. 55% and 57%, 8th grade: 47% vs. 53% and 55%) and FAST/Math (6th grade: 44% vs. 60% and 60%, 7th grade: 24% vs. 39% and 50%, 8th grade: 62% vs. 63% and 57%). The school's performance in End-of-Course (EOC) exams, such as Algebra 1 and Civics, has also been below the district and state averages.
When compared to nearby schools, Orlando Gifted Academy and Howard Middle have significantly higher proficiency rates, while some other nearby schools, such as Westridge Middle and Memorial Middle, also struggle with academic performance. Additionally, the school's high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 42.1%, and its high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 59.21% to 60.59%, may be contributing factors to its academic challenges.
