Summary:
The city of Stanley, Wisconsin is home to a single middle school, Stanley-Boyd Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. As the sole middle school in the area, it is the primary educational option for families in Stanley. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 239th out of 628 Wisconsin middle schools in 2024-2025 to 379th out of 641 in 2023-2024.
Stanley-Boyd Middle School has shown some strengths, particularly in English Language Arts, where students have consistently outperformed the state average in 6th, 7th, and 8th grades. However, the school's mathematics performance has been more variable, with 6th-grade students exceeding the state average in 2024-2025 but 7th and 8th-grade students falling behind in both years. The school also faces challenges related to student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% in 2023-2024, which is relatively high.
Socioeconomic factors may also play a role in the school's performance, as 43.03% of students received free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, suggesting the school serves a population with significant economic challenges. The school's per-student spending of $9,438 in 2020-2021 was in line with the state average, but the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students could impact academic outcomes. Overall, Stanley-Boyd Area School District and its sole middle school face a mix of strengths and challenges in providing quality education to the students of Stanley, Wisconsin.
