The middle school at Stanley-Boyd consists of approximately 235 students in grades 6th-8th. Parents and staff believe that all students can learn at a high level. Professional development opportunities, updating curriculum to meet state and national standards, and the development of student learning communities are an integral part of this belief. The district recently implemented a "no zero" policy to ensure the success of all students. A pyramid of intervention provides specific steps to help students learn the necessary skills and develop good work habits so that no child fails.

Throughout the school year, students participate in physical education classes and a variety of exploratory offerings including: agriculture, technology education, computer education, family and consumer education, Spanish, art, choir, band, and character education.

In addition to a strong academic curriculum, students have the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of extra curricular activities including Science Olympiad, student council, FFA, and peer mediation. Team sports include cross country, volleyball, football, wrestling, boys' and girls' basketball, and track and field. Golf, baseball, and softball are offered in the community during the summer months.

Students have also had the opportunity to learn first hand from foreign exchange teachers through a partnership with the Wisconsin Department of Instruction and the Fulbright International Education Exchange Program. Teachers from Japan, South Korea, Morocco and Norway have spent time living and teaching in the district over the past six years. In addition, the district continues to host foreign exchange students in the high school who share their culture and knowledge with the middle school students.
