How does one calculate what stratum their NTP server is? I'm syncing off four other servers, 3 of which are stratum one (according to ntpq) and the fourth is stratum 4.

Don't worry about it. The stratum is really just there for loop- detection (your server will be $who_you_sync_with + 1). The important measures for your time keeping performance are offset/jitter and availability.
