Summary

Conway Middle is a public middle school in Louisville, Kentucky, serving 609 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Jefferson County School District, which is ranked 140 out of 157 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Conway Middle consistently ranks among the lowest-performing middle schools in Kentucky, with rankings between 309-326 out of 322-337 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 8-15% of Conway Middle students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 28-43% at the district and state levels. The school also has extremely high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 25% to 51.3% over the past few years, and relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 1.1% to 2.6% in recent years.

Interestingly, several nearby magnet schools, such as Grace M. James Academy of Excellence, Western Middle School for the Arts, and Noe Middle, significantly outperform Conway Middle on state assessments and have higher rankings within the state, despite serving a similar demographic of students. Additionally, Conway Middle has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 15.6 to 17.4 over the past few years, which is lower than the district average, but this does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes.
