That position has been stable: 287/349 (18th percentile) in 2024–2025 and 288/348 (17th percentile) in 2023–2024, each with 1 star. The district itself ranks 335/351 at the 5th percentile with 0 stars, so Drury ranks above its district but still sits in the bottom fifth of the state. Test results vary sharply by grade.

Other indicators are mixed. Graduation is 84.9% at the school vs 83.9% in the district, and dropout is 8.1% vs 8.0% — close to district figures, though the dropout rate is still a concern alongside low proficiency. The student-teacher ratio is low at 9.8, and per-student spending was $19,339 in 2020–2021. Year over year, Math All Grades improved from 2.36% to 9.86%, while ELA All Grades fell from 13.6% to 9.15% and Science All Grades from 9.84% to 6.25%.
