Summary

Stuarts Draft High is a public high school in Stuarts Draft, VA, serving 668 students in grades 9–12 as part of Augusta County Public Schools. It has been on a strong upward trajectory, climbing from 171st in Virginia three years ago to 110th this year, placing it in the 67th percentile of state high schools even though its district ranks in the 43rd percentile. This momentum is especially notable because the share of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch jumped from roughly 39% to 62% over the same period, yet academic outcomes continued to improve.

The school's clearest strengths are keeping students on track. The graduation rate has stayed between 93.7% and 96.7% over four years, reaching 94.6% in the most recent year, above both the district and state. The dropout rate of 3.2% is well below the state's 5.0%. Chronic absenteeism has dropped from 21.4% to 15.1%, now the lowest among comparable Augusta County high schools, ahead of Fort Defiance High, Wilson Memorial High, Riverheads High, and Buffalo Gap High.

Academically, ninth-grade geometry and Algebra I are strong, with geometry hitting a perfect 100% proficiency rate and reading proficiency for 11th graders climbing to 90%. The clear weak spot is 10th-grade Algebra I, where proficiency has fallen to 54%, below the state average and the lowest among area schools. Stuarts Draft is also efficient with resources: it spends about $9,400 per student, less than most neighbors, yet it outperforms Buffalo Gap High, Fort Defiance High, Staunton High, and Waynesboro High in overall rank while posting a higher graduation rate than each. For parents, the picture is a school that is improving, graduating students reliably, and using its budget effectively.
