Summary

Strasburg High is a public high school in Strasburg, VA, serving about 614 students in grades 9–12 and is one of two high schools in the Shenandoah County Public Schools district. The school has climbed dramatically in statewide rankings over the past five years, jumping from the 12th percentile in 2020–2021 to the 60th percentile today, placing it 133rd out of 331 Virginia high schools with a 3-star rating. Among nearby schools, only Central High (135th) ranks similarly, while Millbrook High, John Handley High, Skyline High, and Sherando High all rank substantially lower.

The school’s strongest asset is its near-perfect graduation rate: 98.6% in 2024–2025, well above the state average of 92.3%, with a 0.0% dropout rate — the best among all nearby high schools. This is especially impressive given that 83.4% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, one of the highest rates in the region. Strasburg also stands out for its effectiveness with students with disabilities, who rank in the 88th percentile statewide, and low-income students, who rank in the 64th percentile. Academically, the school posts strong SOL results in Geometry (100% proficient), 11th-grade English Reading (90.3%), and Earth Science (75%).

The main challenges are chronic absenteeism and writing scores. While chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically from 41.5% in 2021–2022 to 15.8% now, it remains above the state (14.8%) and district (11.9%) averages. Writing proficiency has lagged the state for three straight years at 74.8%. Compared to Central High, Strasburg is stronger in English Reading and graduation rate, while Central edges it out in Algebra I and Biology. Notably, Strasburg achieves these results while spending just $8,629 per student — less than every nearby high school, including Warren County High ($12,383) and John Handley High ($13,157).
