¡Hola de nuevo Jennifer!
It is correct if you want to express the idea that she is in a specific moment, very strict. In this case, the verb "estar" is used to indicate that she's very strict but just in some particular moment (this day, the past week, the last 2 months, etc). For example:
La maestra está muy estricta hoy.
La maestra está muy estricta esta semana/La maestra ha estado muy estricta esta semana.
Now, if you want to say that the teacher is very strict all the time, the verb you should use is "ser". Example:
La maestra es muy estricta.
Hope this helps. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me! :-)
