Summary:
ZIP code 54768 has a single elementary school option: Stanley Elementary, a K–5 school with 437 students at 507 E 1st Ave in Stanley, part of the Stanley-Boyd Area School District. Because it is the only elementary school in the area, the most useful comparisons are against Wisconsin averages and against the school's own history. Stanley Elementary ranks 305th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 71st percentile with a 4-star rating, while the district overall ranks 155th of 432 districts (64th percentile, 3 stars).
Academically, the school is above the state average in every tested subject and grade in 2025–2026, averaging about 66.0% proficiency versus roughly 54.7% statewide. Mathematics is the standout: all three tested grades beat the state by double digits, and grade 5 math reached 71.67% versus 51.81% statewide. ELA is also strong, with grade 5 at 70.00% versus 53.63%. Science (56.79% vs. 53.46%) and social studies (67.90% vs. 65.51%) are above state but by narrower margins than a year earlier. Chronic absenteeism is 6.1%, far below the state's 17.3%, though above the district's 3.8%.
About 48.28% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the school spends $13,832 per student with a 12.5:1 student-teacher ratio—above-state results in that context are notable. The rating trend is positive but not yet at its recent peak: the school improved from 3 stars and the 68th percentile in 2024–2025 to 4 stars and the 71st percentile in 2025–2026, but remains below its 2023–2024 result of 79th percentile and a 223rd statewide rank. The main things to watch are whether the latest gains continue and whether the smaller science and social studies advantages hold.
