The data reveals a mix of performance, with the elementary school standing out as a strong performer, while the middle and high schools face more significant academic challenges.

The academic performance of Drummond 7-8 (the middle school) is the weakest among the three schools, with only 12% proficient in English Language Arts and 28% in Mathematics. This disparity in performance across grade levels indicates a need for targeted interventions and support to address the learning gaps within the Drummond High School district. Overall, the data highlights the need for a closer examination of the factors contributing to the academic performance of the schools in Drummond, particularly at the middle and high school levels.
