Her academic ability and intellect was mediocre: in "[[Daria Dance Party]]", she has to be reminded that an essay on Hemingway for English class refers to the writer and not [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariel_Hemingway actress Mariel Hemingway]; her P-STAT in "[[Is It Fall Yet?]]" was only 940 (though this was the second-highest in the Fashion Club) and she made very dumb comments when being tutored; and in "[[Lucky Strike]]" she's horrified at the thought of a 200-word essay and copies Sandi's essay ''even though it's being handed to the same teacher.'' "IIFY?" has her express the fear that "I'm such an idiot. I'll never get anywhere in life!". Tutor [[David Sorenson]] does note that while she's not doing very well, she is ''trying'' to learn unlike the rest of the Club. She nevertheless had a meltdown during their first lesson; it is unclear whether they had any more after that.

The tutoring scene is the only time Stacy's mother is mentioned. When Sorensen silently rolls his eyes at her, she says: "Oh, no... that's the look my mother always gets when I say something stupid." Her mother's secretary was mentioned once on the Fashion Club's first website (ca. 1999) in Stacy's article "Real shopping vs. Internet shopping"; apparently, when her Mom's secretary doesn't have time to go to the mall or the post office at lunch, Stacy has to return things herself. Nothing is ever said of a father.


In the intro to each episode, Stacy and [[Tiffany]] can be seen playing netball on the same team as Daria, when Daria is not making much effort to participate. It is difficult to imagine the circumstances when Daria would be playing netball alongside Stacy and Tiffany, especially given that the Fashion Club looked down on sports.
