Conway Middle

Summary:

Conway Middle is a public middle school in Louisville, Kentucky, serving 730 students in grades 6-8. Unfortunately, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Kentucky middle schools over the past decade, with significant academic struggles across all subject areas and grade levels.

Conway Middle's academic performance is well below state and district averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 15% of 7th-grade students and 9% of 8th-grade students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 39% and 37% statewide, respectively. The school's reading proficiency rates are also low, ranging from 12% to 18% across grades 6-8, compared to 49% to 47% statewide. This poor performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, with Conway Middle ranking in the bottom 10% of Kentucky middle schools for African American, Hispanic, White, and low socioeconomic status students.

The data reveals a stark contrast between Conway Middle and the nearby Grace M. James Academy of Excellence, Western Middle School for the Arts, and Noe Middle, which consistently outperform Conway Middle and the state and district averages across all subject areas and grade levels. Despite the high spending per student at Conway Middle, the school has not shown any significant improvement in its academic performance over the past decade, indicating a need for a more comprehensive and effective approach to addressing the school's challenges and ensuring equitable access to quality education for all students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
