Drummond 7-8

Summary:

Drummond 7-8 is a small public middle school in Drummond, Montana, serving 27 students in grades 7-8. The school is part of the Drummond Elementary District, which is ranked 99 out of 300 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Drummond 7-8 has shown a mixed performance compared to the state. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school outperformed the state in reading (58.62% proficient or better) and science (58.82% proficient or better), but underperformed in mathematics (34.48% proficient or better). However, the school's performance has fluctuated over the years, with a significant drop in proficiency rates in the 2020-2021 school year. The school's statewide ranking among Montana middle schools has also been variable, ranging from 42nd out of 187 schools in 2022-2023 (4-star rating) to 167th out of 200 schools in 2020-2021 (1-star rating).

Interestingly, while Drummond 7-8 outperformed its local Drummond Elementary school in reading and science proficiency, the elementary school had higher mathematics proficiency rates. This suggests that the transition from elementary to middle school may present academic challenges for some students in the Drummond school system. Additionally, with only 27 students, Drummond 7-8 is a very small middle school, which may provide opportunities for personalized attention but also present challenges in terms of resource allocation and extracurricular offerings.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
