Nestled in the heart of Virginia’s beautiful Shenandoah Valley, Harrisonburg is a vibrant city rich in history and culture. While Harrisonburg goes by many nicknames, including “the Friendly City” and “Rocktown,” it is best known for its cool historic downtown area—the first in Virginia to be designated an Arts & Cultural District and a Culinary District.
In Downtown Harrisonburg’s iconic 19th-century buildings, you’ll find fascinating museums, independent boutiques, and a slew of delectable and diverse eateries. Locals and visitors alike are drawn to Harrisonburg’s annual events, such as the Harrisonburg International Festival, Skeleton Fest, and the Rocktown Beer and Music Festival, among others.
Home to James Madison University and Eastern Mennonite University, Harrisonburg delights in endless cultural and educational opportunities. Outdoor activities are also a source of delight for many residents, with plenty of pristine parks in town and close proximity to Shenandoah National Park. Valley Mall provides residents an array of suburban conveniences while easy access to I-81 connects Harrisonburg to nearby Richmond and Washington, D.C.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
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.
