Stanley-Boyd Middle

Summary:

Stanley-Boyd Middle is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Stanley-Boyd Area School District in Stanley, Wisconsin. The school has 252 students and a student-teacher ratio of 16.3. While the school's performance has fluctuated over the years, it has generally performed above the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics on the Forward Exam.

However, the school's ranking has declined in recent years, from a high of 111 out of 579 Wisconsin middle schools in 2017-2018 to 379 out of 641 in the most recent 2023-2024 school year. This suggests that the school may be facing some challenges that are impacting its overall performance. Additionally, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with female students consistently outperforming male students, and White students and students with low socioeconomic status having lower rankings compared to the overall school. The school's chronic absenteeism rate has also fluctuated, ranging from 1.2% to 5.6% in recent years.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Cornell Middle and Owen-Withee Junior High, which generally perform lower on standardized tests and have lower overall rankings, Cadott Junior High, which is about 11 miles away, has shown stronger performance in some subject areas, particularly Mathematics. Addressing the identified areas of concern, such as subgroup disparities and chronic absenteeism, could help Stanley-Boyd Middle better serve its students and community.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
