Summary

Drummond Elementary School is a Chicago school serving pre-K through grade 8, with 339 students in a nearby-school group ranging in size from 256 to 889. Its 2025–26 results were above state and district averages in English Language Arts (ELA), mathematics and both reported science grades. The key takeaway is that results look solid against state and district averages but mixed against nearby schools, with mathematics and fifth-grade science standing out as relative weaknesses.

ELA was a nearby-area strength: 59% of students were proficient, compared with 56% statewide, 46% districtwide and a nearby-school average of 49%. Mathematics was less competitive nearby: 43% were proficient, above the state’s 40% and district’s 29%, but 7 percentage points below the 50% nearby average and lower than all seven nearby schools with reportable results. In fifth-grade science, Drummond’s 58% was above the state’s 48% and district’s 35%, but 10 points below the nearby average of 68%. Eighth-grade science was 54%, close to the nearby average of 55%, and above state and district results. Some nearby math and science results were suppressed, so those schools cannot be included in every comparison.

ELA proficiency rose from 43% in 2023–24 to 59% in 2025–26, while math gained 11 points over those years but dipped 2 points in the latest year. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile fell from 62 in 2024–25 to 53 in 2025–26, earning Drummond 3 stars. Its “White Students” ranking rose from the 43rd percentile in 2023–24 to the 70th in 2025–26, compared with the school’s overall 53rd percentile—a notable group-specific ranking of how well the school serves these students. Other context: chronic absenteeism was 13% in 2025–26, below the state’s 24% and district’s 39%; the student-teacher ratio was 14.4 in 2024–25, versus a nearby average of 13.3. The free/reduced lunch eligible rate was 16% in school year 2024–25, compared with a nearby average of 52%.
