Ca(OH)2, Sr(OH)2, and Ba(OH)2 are only slightly soluble in water. Why are they still considered as strong bases? Because most of the solid that dissolves is in aqueous form. Because the small amount of solid hydroxide that dissolved is ionized fully. Because they can form soluble complexes with hydroxides
