Summary

Staunton High School serves 384 students in grades 9–12 in the Staunton community and is part of Staunton CUSD 6. The clearest takeaway for families is that results vary notably by grade: ninth graders are often outperforming the state, while tenth-grade results are weaker and 11th-grade science is a pronounced concern.

Ninth-grade proficiency is a strength: results were above the state in ELA (69% versus 62%), math (50% versus 42%) and science (62% versus 47%). Among the six nearby schools, Staunton’s ninth-grade science result ranked first. By contrast, 11th-grade science was 37%, compared with 48% statewide, and ranked fifth of six nearby schools. The 11th-grade results were more mixed in other subjects: ELA was 52%, above the state’s 50% and second among nearby schools; math was 39%, just below the state’s 40% but above the nearby average of 33%. Chronic absenteeism was the lowest locally at 11%, compared with 24% statewide and 10% in the district. Graduation was 93%, above the state’s 90%, though four nearby schools had higher rates.

Results have shifted over time rather than moving steadily: SchoolDigger placed Staunton at the 60th percentile with 3 stars in 2025–26, down 12 percentile points from the prior year but still second among the six nearby schools. The percentile was 76 in 2022–23, 53 in 2023–24 and 72 in 2024–25. The school’s 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 15.3, the highest nearby, while its 2024–25 free/reduced lunch eligible share was 35%, the lowest among the six; the next-lowest was 43% at Civic Memorial High School. SchoolDigger’s 2025–26 ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students was at the 88th percentile, up 47 points since 2023–24 and above the school’s overall 60th percentile. Its latest Disabled Students ranking was lower: the 32nd percentile in 2024–25, compared with the school’s overall 72nd percentile that year.
