Summary:
Zip code 54768 has one middle school, Stanley-Boyd Middle, serving grades 6–8 with 223 students in Stanley, Wisconsin, as part of the Stanley-Boyd Area School District. Because it is the only middle school in this zip code, parents can look to it as the local option for those grades. The school has recently shown an upward statewide rank trend, moving from 2 stars and the 41st percentile in 2023–2024 to 3 stars and about the 61st–62nd percentile in 2024–2025 and 2025–2026. The district is ranked 155th of 432 Wisconsin districts, placing it at the 64th percentile with 3 stars.
Academically, math is the clearest strength. The school’s math average is about 9 points above the state, led by 7th grade math at 76.12% proficient versus the state’s 55.67%, or 20.45 points higher. 7th grade ELA is also strong at 68.66% versus 55.33% statewide. 8th grade science is 59.46% versus 51.86%, and 8th grade math is 58.11% versus 53.67%. 6th grade math is slightly above state at 54.93% versus 53.60%. The main academic concern is 6th grade ELA, where 42.25% proficient is 12.70 points below the state’s 54.95%. 8th grade ELA is essentially at state, 54.05% versus 54.38%, and 8th grade social studies is slightly below state, 63.51% versus 64.63%.
Non-academic indicators are notably strong. Chronic absenteeism is 0.9%, far below the district’s 3.8% and the state’s 17.3%, and the reported dropout rate is 0.0%, compared with 0.6% district and 1.1% state. Other context includes 41.7% free/reduced lunch, $10,826 per-student spending, and a 14.7 student-teacher ratio. Year-over-year results show that 7th grade math rose 22.27 points and 7th grade ELA rose 9.69 points, while 6th grade ELA and math declined sharply for that incoming cohort. With only 223 students across grades 6–8, single-grade swings can reflect small-group changes, so the school’s overall profile is best read as above average in math and attendance, with 6th grade ELA as the clearest area to watch.
