Summary:
The city of Fort Defiance, Virginia is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Edward G. Clymore Elementary, Fort Defiance High, and S. Gordon Stewart Middle. These schools are part of the Augusta County Public Schools district.
Among the three schools, Fort Defiance High stands out as the highest-performing, ranking 95th out of 326 Virginia high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts impressive test scores, with 94.34% proficiency in Geometry, 100% proficiency in Algebra I, and 90% proficiency in English Reading. Additionally, Edward G.

The free/reduced lunch rates at all three schools are relatively high, ranging from 40.85% at Fort Defiance High to 49.29% at Edward G. Clymore Elementary, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. The student-teacher ratio at S. Gordon Stewart Middle is the highest in the district, which could be an area of concern.
