What this school is
Conway sits at 6300 Terry Road in southwest Louisville. It is a neighborhood 6–8 school first. There is no magnet application for Conway itself — if it is your resides school, you register. JCPS lists the campus in its Enhanced Support Zone, and the profile carries a KDE rating of Red / Level 1.
Current Choices lists an Advance Program, Verizon Innovative Learning iPads with a data plan, award-winning orchestra, band, and chess, and STLP state-champion digital-product awards. Cougar Day is the intervention period. Clubs run from Anime and BSU to Men of Quality, Future Problem Solvers, and Quick Recall; athletics include archery, baseball, basketball, cheer, cross-country, football, soccer, softball, track, and volleyball.
Who runs the building
Dr. Jeannie R. Lett
Dr. Jeannie R. Lett is listed as principal, and Nicole Owens-Wilson runs the Youth Services Center. Grade-level assistant principal names are not treated as settled here because the searchable district directory only exposed the principal. Check the current Conway staff directory before you write a letter.

How families get in
If School Finder says Conway is the resides middle school, a current JCPS fifth-grader generally does not file a magnet application. You register. If you want a different middle school, you apply in the JCPS window for a magnet or Traditional magnet — Conway itself is not that application.
- Run School Finder. Write down the resides middle school.
- If Conway is the resides school and you plan to attend, register.
- New-to-JCPS families register first, then complete any school application that applies.
- If you do not want Conway, apply for a magnet or Traditional magnet during the window.
- Tour during the academic day before you treat the resides school as automatic.
Buses follow the resides rule
- Students attending their resides middle school are in the regular transportation system.
- Leaving Conway for a magnet does not automatically keep the same bus. Confirm 2026–27 on the Transportation Verification form.
Official 2027–28 application window: November 2, 2026 through December 18, 2026.
Who it tends to fit
A good match when
- Conway is your southwest resides middle school.
- You want a 7:30 campus with band, orchestra, chess, iPads, and an Advance Program.
- Pleasure Ridge Park is the high school you already expect.
Think twice when
- You need high published proficiency.
- You want Traditional structure or a districtwide magnet theme.
- You assumed the Advance Program or VILS was an application.
