Conway School District

Conway School District 317 is the only school listed in the Conway School District, serving students from kindergarten through eighth grade in Mount Vernon, Washington. The school enrolls 421 students, has a student-teacher ratio of 16.7 to 1, and reports a 2025–2026 ranking around the top 12% of its comparison group, although the ranking data uses more than one comparison methodology. Because there is only one school, district and school results are the same in this dataset.

Conway School District 317 performs above Washington averages in all three reported subjects. Overall proficiency was 56.73% in English Language Arts, 57.82% in math, and 65.12% in science, compared with statewide rates of 52.81%, 43.11%, and 50.95%. Math and science are the clearest strengths, with advantages of roughly 15 and 14 percentage points over the state. Math exceeded the state average in every tested grade, while fifth-grade science reached 71.74%. Fourth grade was especially strong, with 64.71% proficiency in ELA and 74.51% in math. The school also improved in every subject from the prior year, with science gaining nearly nine percentage points.

For families considering the school, the main area to watch is upper-grade ELA. Performance was strong in fourth and fifth grades but fell to 50.98% in seventh grade and 50% in eighth grade, slightly below state averages. Fifth-grade math was another relative weakness at 47.83%, though it remained above the Washington rate. Overall, the results show a small K–8 school with consistently strong math and science outcomes, improving performance, and a particularly notable fourth-grade cohort. Parents may want to ask how the school supports reading achievement during the transition into middle grades and how it provides additional math support in fifth grade.
