Summary

Conway Grammar is a small PK–6 elementary school serving 152 students in Conway, a rural town in western Massachusetts, and it is the only school in the Conway district. It has been consistently strong: in 2025–2026 it ranked 186th of 899 elementary schools (79th percentile, 4 stars), and its district ranks 68th of 351 statewide — well above neighboring districts such as Whately, Deerfield, Mohawk Trail, Sunderland, Gill-Montague, and Greenfield. Rank history over the past decade is mostly in the 71st–84th percentile, with a dip to the 63rd percentile in 2023–2024 followed by a strong recovery.

Academically, Conway Grammar performs well above the Massachusetts average. In 2025–2026, all-grade proficiency was 58.57% in ELA, 59.72% in math, and 58.82% in science, compared with state rates of 40.03%, 41.11%, and 40.98%. Among nearby schools, Conway had the highest ELA and math scores — ahead of Sanderson Academy, Whately Elementary, Deerfield Elementary, Sunderland Elementary, and Buckland-Shelburne Regional — and the second-highest science score, behind Whately. Third grade was a standout: 86.67% proficient in math versus the state's 42.19%, and 73.33% in ELA versus 42.79%. Sixth-grade ELA was also strong at 63.64%. Fifth- and sixth-grade math were more modest relative to Conway's own results, though still above state averages.

Conway Grammar is also resource-intensive: per-pupil spending was $25,634 in 2020–2021 and its student-teacher ratio was 7.8 in 2024–2025, among the lowest nearby. Subgroup results, where available, are striking — in 2023–2024 the school ranked 13th of 760 for low-income students (98th percentile, 5 stars), and in 2021–2022 it ranked 42nd of 905 for special education students (95th percentile, 5 stars). Because enrollment is small, grade-level percentages can shift with a single cohort, free/reduced-lunch data were not available, and subgroup ranks cover only selected years.

My son started Kindergarden this year. This school has so much to offer academically as well as supporting our children socially and emotionally. The staff and teachers are very friendly. I am a school of choice parent and I am so pleased my son is attending this school. Close Quote
