Summary:
The 59832 zip code area is home to a single middle school, Drummond 7-8, which serves grades 7-8. This small, rural school faces significant academic challenges, with its performance consistently falling below state averages across key metrics.
Drummond 7-8 has a very small student population of just 28 students, and its statewide ranking has fluctuated greatly in recent years, from a high of 42 out of 187 middle schools to a low of 180 out of 222. The school's 1-star rating from SchoolDigger indicates it is performing below average compared to other Montana middle schools. Academically, Drummond 7-8 struggles, with proficiency rates in ELA (12%), math (28%), and science (27.78%) all significantly lower than the state averages. Additionally, 100% of Drummond 7-8 students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting the high level of economic disadvantage in the school's population.
Despite the small student-teacher ratio of 12.9 to 1, which is better than the state average, Drummond 7-8 has not been able to translate this advantage into strong academic outcomes for its students. The data suggests that the challenges faced by this small, rural school serving a high-poverty population require targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes in the community.
