The Stuartville School District was established formally in November 1893 and a one-room schoolhouse was located at SW1-4-12 west of the Principal Meridian in the Municipality of Louise. The school closed in July 1964 and its catchment area was consolidated with Pilot Mound School No. 105. The building is no longer present at the site, having been demolished in 2012, but a metal sign dedicated at a reunion in 1994 commemorates it.
Among the teachers of Stuartville School were Nellie Milne Stuart (c1910) and Lyra McQuarrie (1929-?).
