When comparing Stanleytown Elementary to the nearby Rich Acres Elementary, which is only 7.72 miles away, the latter has significantly higher test scores across all subjects and grade levels.

Despite the school's higher spending per student, which has increased from $6,087 in 2018-2019 to $9,326 in 2020-2021, these investments have not translated into improved academic outcomes.
