Summary

Stanley-Boyd High is a public high school serving 320 students in grades 9-12 in Stanley, Wisconsin, which is part of the Stanley-Boyd Area School District. The school has had a fluctuating performance, ranking as high as 87 out of 431 Wisconsin high schools in 2023-2024 but as low as 330 out of 400 in 2018-2019. However, the school's ranking has generally been in the range of 200-260 for most of the past 5 years, indicating a relatively average performance compared to other Wisconsin high schools.

One notable strength of Stanley-Boyd High is its high graduation rate, which has ranged from 90.4% to 98.6% in recent years, exceeding the state average. The school has also shown strong performance in social studies, with 10th-grade students scoring above the state average on the Forward Exam. However, the school's performance in other subject areas, such as English Language Arts and Mathematics, has been more mixed, with scores both above and below the state average. Additionally, the school has experienced significant fluctuations in chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 3.4% to 19.5% in recent years, which could be an area of concern.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Cornell High, Owen-Withee High, Gilman High, Cadott High, and Thorp High, Stanley-Boyd High generally has higher statewide rankings and better performance metrics. These nearby schools serve smaller student populations and have higher percentages of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, which may contribute to their lower performance.
