Summary:

Staunton CUSD 6 has three schools serving prekindergarten through grade 12: Staunton Elementary School (PK–5), Staunton Junior High School (6–8), and Staunton High School (9–12). Together, they enroll 1,165 students, with an average 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio of 14.7. The clearest overall strength is K–8 English language arts: both younger schools are well above state results, while junior high math is much closer to the state level.

Staunton Junior High School stands out in 2025–2026 all-grades English language arts, with 78% proficient compared with 56% statewide, a 21-point advantage; Staunton Elementary School reached 71%, 15 points above state. Elementary leads the two schools in all-grades math: 57% proficient, 17 points above state, versus junior high’s 42%, just 2 points above. Junior high’s eighth-grade science result is another strength at 73%, 21 points above state; elementary fifth-grade science was 58%, 11 points above. At the high school, results depend on grade: ninth-grade PreACT scores exceeded state results in all three subjects, while tenth-grade scores fell below state in all three. Eleventh-grade ACT English language arts was slightly above state, but science was 11 points below.

K–8 results improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: elementary rose 4 points in English language arts and 7 in math, while junior high rose 4 points in English language arts and 2 in math. Junior high science also increased, but its lead over state narrowed from 25 to 21 points. High-school changes were mixed: ninth-grade results improved, while tenth-grade results declined. SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 rankings place Elementary at the 75th percentile, Junior High at the 73rd, and High at the 60th. For 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 49% at Elementary, 40% at Junior High, and 35% at High; ratios were 15.2, 13.6, and 15.3, respectively. These figures offer context, but do not point to one simple pattern linking school size, income measure, ratios, and results.
