Conway School District

Conway School District is a small New Hampshire K–12 district serving about 1,411 students across four schools: two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school in the Conway area. The district includes grades K–2 at Pine Tree Primary School, grades 3–5 at Conway Intermediate School, grades 6–8 at A. Crosby Kennett Middle School, and grades 9–12 at Kennett High School.

Kennett High School is the district’s largest school and its clearest overall standout. It reports a 90.5% graduation rate, a 1.9% dropout rate, and reading proficiency slightly above the state average. Its ranking also improved substantially over the past three reported years, moving from the 13th to the 42nd percentile. Mathematics and science remain important areas for improvement, however. A. Crosby Kennett Middle School has the district’s strongest reported student-teacher ratio and a particularly good seventh-grade profile: seventh-grade math matches the state average, while reading is slightly above it. The middle school’s main concern is science, which declined notably in the latest results.

Conway Intermediate School performs best in mathematics relative to the other tested schools, with fifth-grade math slightly above the state comparison. Its largest academic challenge is reading in third and fourth grades, while science is also below the state average. Pine Tree Primary School has the district’s lowest reported student-teacher ratio, but test scores and rankings were not provided, so its academic performance cannot be compared directly. Across the district, reading is the strongest subject overall, while science is the most consistent weakness. Parents may also want to note that school-to-school results vary considerably, making grade level and subject especially important when evaluating the district.
