Drummond Elementary

Summary:

Drummond Elementary is a public elementary school located in Drummond, Wisconsin, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 181 students. The school is part of the Drummond Area School District, which is ranked 239 out of 428 school districts in Wisconsin and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Drummond Elementary consistently outperforms the state average in proficiency rates for the Forward Exam across various grade levels and subject areas, including English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science. The school has shown strong performance among its female students and has excelled in serving its low socioeconomic status (SES) students. However, Drummond Elementary has experienced some challenges with chronic absenteeism, with rates ranging from 12.0% to 36.2% over the past few years.

Compared to nearby schools like Marengo Valley Elementary and Iron River Elementary, Drummond Elementary has relatively high spending per student ($20,159 per student in 2020-2021) and a low student-teacher ratio (ranging from 10.5 to 12 students per teacher). This investment in resources may be contributing to the school's academic success, but it also raises questions about the sustainability and efficiency of this approach compared to nearby schools.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
