GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Strasburg High School was a very average school in the countryside. The teachers and administration were so kind to me when I was a student there. The one thing that I would want to see is improved clubs and more club availability.

This school has helped me grow so much as a person. I used to be so shy but all the staff and students were so kind and brought me out of my shell. When my sister passed away due to how small are school was everyone knew and helped me find my new normal. I couldn't be more thankful for all the people here.

Strasburg High School has some of the best teachers you will have. They actually care about helping you learn the information. The guidance counselors do everything they can to help you take the correct classes to graduate on time and even be prepared for college if that is the path you want to take. We do not have a wide variety of diversity, due to the fact that Strasburg is a very small town. Strasburg offers a wide variety of clubs and we have added Tennis and Frisbee to the sports list in the past two years.

The school mainly focused on sports, the faculty and staff were rude and overly strict and the school had occasional fights. It was very scary, wondering if I was going to be attacked by another student. There was no lead...

Strasburg High School is one of the worst schools to go to. Sports is the foremost part of this school and the coaching is horrible. The school is also filled with ignorance. My child had to deal with ignorance at this school on a daily basis. I have read the reviews others posted and things at this...

I love Strasburg HS. We moved to the area from Northern VA in 2005 because of the schools there. I have had one child graduate from the school and another is currently enrolled there. Next year I will have two in the school. My child had no problems getting accepted to a university. The school is cl...
