Summary

Conway Middle in Orlando, FL, is a public school serving 735 students in grades 6-8 within the Orange County district, where over half of the student body qualifies for free or reduced lunch.

Conway Middle presents a unique "two-tiered" academic profile. On one hand, its advanced math programs are exceptional: 84% of students are proficient in Algebra 1 and 92% in Geometry, far exceeding district and state averages. This performance rivals or surpasses higher-ranked schools like Howard Middle and Glenridge Middle. On the other hand, the school struggles significantly with standard grade-level subjects. Only 22% of 7th graders are proficient in math, the lowest among nearby schools, and English Language Arts and science scores consistently fall below district and state averages. This pattern is shared by its closest peer, Roberto Clemente Middle, which has similar demographics and a similar split between high advanced math scores and low core subject performance.

The school's most pressing challenge is a severe chronic absenteeism rate of 42.1%, which is significantly higher than the state average and far above high-performing schools like Orlando Gifted Academy (12.9%). This absenteeism is strongly linked to low overall performance and has worsened over the past several years. Despite spending $11,745 per student—more than many higher-performing peers—Conway Middle has seen a decade-long decline in its state ranking, now sitting in the 23rd percentile. For parents, this means the school offers a standout advanced math track for a select group of students, but the majority face significant hurdles in core subjects, with attendance being the critical factor to address for improvement.

Open Quote I think they could do it best, maybe they could let more work and homework, i'm one of the students that have a 4 level in all the FAST tests, the kids don't want really to study, they only want to talk with their friends. Close Quote
