Summary:
Lafayette Elementary has one middle school, M. H. Stanley Middle, serving grades 6–8 with 1,117 students. In 2025–2026, the school’s proficiency rates were higher than California’s in ELA (78% versus 49%), math (76% versus 38%), and science (63% versus 36%). Its largest advantage over the state was in math: 37 percentage points.
Because it is the only school in the list, there is no local top-to-bottom comparison; it cannot be ranked against area peers. Across its own subjects, ELA had the highest score, while science was lowest, 13 points below both ELA and math. However, math was strongest relative to the state. The school’s state advantage also shows up across reported grades: it was ahead by 22–33 points in ELA, 35–42 points in math, and 28 points in grade 8 science. Its grade-level results were close to the district’s in every reported grade.
Scores rose in ELA and science from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while math slipped slightly: ELA increased by 1 point, science by 8, and math declined by 1. The school’s lead over California widened by 1 point in ELA and 5 in science, but narrowed by 2 in math. SchoolDigger ranked the school 127th of 2,703 statewide, in the 95th percentile, with five stars in 2025–2026; its ranking was 106th of 2,783 in 2023–2024 and 155th of 2,761 in 2024–2025. Other context includes a student-teacher ratio of 18.9 in 2024–2025 and 5% free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Chronic absenteeism was 4.5% in 2025–2026, below California’s 18.3% but above the district’s 2.8%. With only one school listed, meaningful local peer comparisons are unavailable.
