Summary:
ZIP code 03818, which includes the Conway, New Hampshire area, has one middle school serving grades 6–8: A. Crosby Kennett Middle School. The school enrolls 308 students and is part of the Conway School District. It reports a 9.6-to-1 student–teacher ratio and serves a community in which about one-third of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
Academic results are mixed. Reading is the school’s strongest subject overall, with 48% of students proficient, followed by mathematics at 38% and science at 23%. The school performs close to district averages in all three subjects, but remains below New Hampshire averages: 7 points lower in reading, 6 points lower in mathematics, and 15 points lower in science. Seventh grade is the strongest grade level, with 58% proficiency in reading and 44% in mathematics; its results are at or slightly above state averages. In contrast, eighth grade is the greatest area of concern, with 41% proficiency in reading, 34% in mathematics, and 23% in science.
Recent results show both progress and challenges. Mathematics improved by 6 percentage points from the prior year, while reading declined by 5 points and science fell sharply by 12 points. Science is therefore the clearest priority for improvement, particularly because its current result is well below the state average. The school’s overall ranking percentile also declined from the 47th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 33rd percentile in 2025–2026. Parents may want to pay particular attention to eighth-grade support, ask how the school is responding to the science decline, and learn whether the practices contributing to strong seventh-grade performance can be extended across other grades.
