History
Stanley was formerly in the Santa Fe School District, which operated a school in Stanley, which in 1962 had 150 students. In 1962 that district's school board approved a plan to have the district moved to Moriarty Municipal Schools. Meanwhile Glorieta was to be moved to the Santa Fe district. The superintendent of the Santa Fe district advocated for closing the Stanley School because of the following reasons: was in close proximity to the one of Moriarty, that it would not be viable as an elementary only school if only the high school were closed, the poor physical state of the building and it was not meeting the academic benchmarks set by the state government of New Mexico.

Hilario "Larry Chavez" began his term as superintendent in 2021.

Dress code
Beginning circa 1998 the district required elementary and middle school students to wear standardized dress (school uniforms). This was ended in 2018 as low income parents complained that the standardized dress caused their clothing expenditures to rise, and as teachers felt that policing the student dress caused too many absences and used too many class resources.
