My child is in 7th grade at this school and so far so bad. Homework can take weeks to be graded at this school so it’s hard to differentiate what’s been turned in or not on Parentvue. This is frustrating as a parent who wants to make sure their child stays on track with their assignments. Some but not all teachers seem to take a hands off approach to learning. They have the children read a handout or book and then pass out homework. When my child asks questions about the work the teachers seem bothered. This is very uninspiring and shows laziness amongst educators at this school. I ask my child almost every day what they learned in class and the answer is almost always the same. “Just the same ole stuff.” Anything new and exciting? His answer, “No.” I won’t mention any names but the English and Mathematics Teachers should really consider whether or not they are in the right field of work because it seems they don’t really care about the success and progression of their students. I’ve had a parent, teacher conference with the Principal present and promises were never kept about making things better than what they have been for my child. If you have a choice please don’t choose Edward Drew Middle School for your children.

This school is the WORST in Stafford VA. They dont care for your kids education!!!! Lies lies!!!!

I am the principal of Conway. While I do not believe in this site and other sites like this (they leave a major part of the story out of their rating systems), I feel compelled to place a comment here. This data is incredibly misleading and does not in anyway tell the true story of our overall data picture, the incredible strengths of our kiddos, and the amazing abilities of our teachers. We are fully accredited with VDOE and we continue to make progress each year. Sure we have things to work on and we always will. However, the ratings, data, enrollment numbers are significantly incorrect. It is my hope that if you are thinking about coming to Conway, please reach out to me, check out my YouTube channel, check out our website, or just talk to people in our community. I think you will see and hear a very different perspective than is being shared here.
