Original Research by School Decision on Stansbury Jr High
Stansbury Jr High is listed as a future school, not yet open for students. The school's lifecycle status indicates it is still in the planning or construction phase, which means essentially all of the performance and enrollment data that normally characterizes a school is absent here. There are no state assessment results, no enrollment counts, no demographic breakdowns, no discipline or staffing information, and no programs yet to report. Because the school will serve only middle school grades, there is also no graduation rate to expect. For a family considering this school, the central fact is that it does not yet exist as an operating campus, so there is no track record to evaluate.
The school is part of the Tooele District, which serves the city of Tooele and surrounding areas in Tooele County. Tooele itself is a growing community roughly a half-hour southwest of Salt Lake City, functioning partly as a commuter suburb and partly as an industrial center anchored by the Tooele Army Depot, mining, manufacturing, and waste-management employers. The city has expanded significantly over recent decades, with new housing development constrained by water rights. The area's housing market reflects a mix of suburban and rural character; home values sit at a moderate level for the state, and rents have been rising modestly. The broader district operates multiple elementary, junior high, and high schools within city limits, and Stansbury Jr High would join that group.
Because the school is in the future stage, no comparison to other districts in Tooele County was possible on academic measures. The county contains several other districts, but without any data on Stansbury Jr High, there is nothing to place side by side. The district itself showed little in the way of recent major changes in bond elections, curriculum shifts, or new school construction that would give additional context beyond the school's own future opening.
For a parent or resident looking at this school, the practical question is what kind of academic environment and student community Stansbury Jr High will offer once it opens. No answer exists yet in the data. The school's location in Tooele places it in a community that has experienced steady growth and where many families balance commuting to the Salt Lake Valley with local employment. The absence of any historical performance data means the school is a blank slate—its eventual offerings, staffing, and culture will be defined after it begins operations. Anyone evaluating this option would need to seek information directly from the district about planned opening dates, projected enrollment boundaries, program design, and staffing plans, as none of that is available here.
