Summary:
Schools in the Stanley-Boyd Area School District consist of three schools serving students in the Stanley, Wisconsin area — one elementary (K–5), one middle (6–8), and one high school (9–12), with no alternative school — enrolling 1,001 students combined and ranked 155th of 432 Wisconsin districts (64th percentile, 3 stars).
Stanley Elementary is the academic anchor and the district's standout, with all 8 reported 2025–2026 tests above the state average: 5th grade math led at 19.86 points above state and 3rd grade math at 15.56 points above. It earned 4 stars and a 71st percentile rank, notable given it has the district's highest free/reduced lunch rate (48.28%). Stanley-Boyd Middle is the most efficient school: lowest per-student spending ($10,826), highest student-teacher ratio (14.7), and lowest chronic absenteeism (0.9%), yet above state on 5 of 8 tests — 7th grade math was 20.45 points above state. Its weak spot is 6th grade ELA, 12.70 points below state. Stanley-Boyd High rebounded from a 2-star, 41st percentile rank in 2024–2025 to 3 stars and 62nd percentile in 2025–2026, with ACT math 17.68 points above state and science 5.28 above, but ELA and social studies slightly below.
Attendance is a district-wide strength: 3.8% chronic absenteeism versus 17.3% statewide, with every school far below the state. Spending does not map neatly to outcomes — the high school spends the most ($14,823) with mixed proficiency, the middle school the least. Grade-level variation is significant, and the clearest opportunities are middle school 6th grade ELA, high school ELA/social studies, and a graduation rate of 91.1% just under the state's 92.0%.
