Academically, Conway Elementary generally performs below the Stafford County and Virginia state averages on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests, with particularly low performance in 5th-grade Science.

This school has been monumental in the growth of my two children. The teachers are so very caring, and the principal is super nice and positive! Close Quote

The Staff at Conway is amazing. The parents are very involved, as well as the staff after school. My son's teacher even calls after school in the later part of the afternoon to discuss any issues they may have risen at school that day. They are helpful in solving and problems that you may have. I love this school and would not change my son to another school. Close Quote
