Summary

Drummond High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in the small town of Drummond, Montana, with a total enrollment of 70 students. The school is part of the Drummond High School District, which is ranked 314 out of 387 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio ranging from 9.4 to 10.3 students per teacher, Drummond High School has faced significant challenges in recent years. The school's statewide ranking has declined from 18th out of 114 Montana high schools in 2021-2022 to 141st out of 182 high schools in 2024-2025, a concerning trend. Additionally, the school's test scores are well below the state averages in subjects like ACT with Writing/English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, with proficiency rates under 25% compared to the state averages of over 30%.

One of the most notable factors impacting Drummond High School is the high poverty rate among its student population, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic challenge may be contributing to the school's academic struggles, and targeted interventions and support strategies may be necessary to help improve student learning and achievement. While the small class sizes could be a potential strength, the school will need to explore additional ways to leverage this advantage and address the broader challenges it faces.
