Summary:
Zip code 22657 in Strasburg, Virginia, contains one high school, Strasburg High, serving grades 9–12 with 614 students in the Shenandoah County Public Schools district. Since only one school is present in this area, this summary compares Strasburg High to its district and the state of Virginia rather than to nearby schools.
Strasburg High stands out for exceptional graduation outcomes, with a 98.6% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate—both dramatically better than the state averages of 92.3% and 5.0%. This is especially notable because 83.39% of students receive free/reduced lunch, showing that high economic need does not prevent student success. The school also demonstrates strong math and science performance, including 100% proficiency in 9th-grade Geometry, 86.92% in Algebra I, and 75% in Earth Science, all above state averages. English Reading proficiency reached 90.26%, exceeding both district (85.51%) and state (88.13%) results.
The main concerns at Strasburg High include VA and US History proficiency (40.91% in 2025–2026) and Writing scores (74.84%), both trailing state averages. Chronic absenteeism is also elevated at 15.8%, above the state's 14.8% figure. An interesting math paradox exists: 9th graders achieved 100% in Geometry, but 10th graders taking Algebra I scored just 50% in 2024–2025, suggesting students who take math later or retake courses may struggle. The school's state rank improved from 163rd (50th percentile) in 2024–2025 to 133rd (60th percentile) in 2025–2026, its best showing in three years. However, some figures, like the 100% Geometry score, may reflect small test-taker cohorts, so percentages should be interpreted with some caution.
