Summary:
Stanley-Boyd Middle is the only middle school in the Stanley-Boyd Area School District, serving about 223 students in grades 6 through 8 in Stanley, Wisconsin. Because it is the district's sole middle school, there is no other local middle school to compare it with — the most useful comparisons are against district and state averages. The school currently holds a 3-star rating, ranking 248 of 643 schools statewide (61st percentile) in 2025–2026, up from 2 stars and the 41st percentile in 2023–2024.
Attendance is the standout strength: chronic absenteeism was just 0.9% in 2024–2025, compared with 3.8% for the district and 17.3% statewide, and the dropout rate was 0.0%. Academically, math is the strongest area in 2025–2026, with all three tested grades above the state average and 7th grade reaching 76.12% proficient versus 55.67% statewide.

Results are uneven by grade and subject. Sixth-grade ELA was the weakest result at 42.25% proficient, well below the state's 54.95%, and this new sixth-grade group also trailed the prior year's sixth grade in math. Eighth-grade social studies came in slightly below state in both years (63.51% vs 64.63%, and 60.00% vs 62.51%). By contrast, 7th-grade ELA (68.66% vs 55.33%) and 8th-grade ELA (54.05% vs 54.38%) were at or above state.
