Summary

Turner Ashby High, located in Bridgewater, VA, is a comprehensive public high school serving roughly 998 students in grades 9–12 as part of Rockingham County Public Schools. The school has posted a strong statewide rebound, jumping from 131st to 75th out of 331 Virginia high schools in the latest 2025–2026 ranking—a 77th-percentile, 4-star performance. Parents will also be encouraged by the school's 94.6% graduation rate, which tops the state average of 92.3%, and its 3.4% dropout rate, which beats both the district (3.9%) and state (5.0%) averages.

Where Turner Ashby truly shines is math. On the latest SOL tests, 100% of 9th graders were proficient in Algebra I (district: 91.84%; state: 80.21%), and geometry proficiency reached 98.25%. The school also delivers impressive results for student subgroups that often struggle elsewhere: disabled students rank in the 96th percentile statewide, and multi-racial students rank 2nd out of 196 Virginia schools. English Language Learners and low-income students also perform well above the 50th percentile. However, results are less consistent in other subjects—11th-grade biology proficiency (47.62%) trails the state average (63.49%)—and male students currently outrank female students by a wide margin (85th vs. 67th percentile).

Compared with nearby schools, Turner Ashby ranks second in the region, behind Spotswood High (54th) and ahead of Broadway High (92nd), East Rockingham High (101st), Wilson Memorial High (105th), Staunton High (132nd), Harrisonburg High (139th), and Rocktown High (301st). It does so while spending less per student ($8,372) than most of these schools. The gap with Harrisonburg High is particularly notable: just a few miles apart, Turner Ashby's free/reduced-price lunch rate is 38.4% versus 86.8%, and its graduation rate is nearly 7 points higher. Chronic absenteeism, though down sharply from 29.1% to 16.0%, remains above the district rate of 11.0%—an area to watch.
