Summary:
The Drummond Area School District in Wisconsin serves about 301 students across three schools on one shared campus at 52440 Eastern Ave in Drummond: Drummond Elementary (PK–6, 156 students), Drummond Junior High (7–8, 53 students), and Drummond High (9–12, 92 students). As a district, it ranks 209 of 432 in the state — the 52nd percentile with 3 stars — but that average hides how differently the three schools are performing.
Drummond High is the standout. It jumped from 2 stars and roughly the 30th percentile in 2024–2025 to 5 stars and the 90th percentile in 2025–2026, with ACT proficiency well above state in ELA (69.57% vs. 48.47%), math (65.22% vs. 42.93%), and science (60.87% vs. 43.20%). It also reports a 100.0% graduation rate and 0.0% dropout rate. The caution: chronic absenteeism is 29.5%, far above the district's 15.4% and the state's 17.3%. Drummond Elementary has the lowest absenteeism at 8.7% and strong upper-grade results — 6th grade ELA at 77.78% vs. the state's 54.95% — though 4th grade science fell to 35% vs. the state's 53.46%.
Drummond Junior High is the most volatile, sliding from 3 stars to 1 star, with 8th grade ELA (30.77%), social studies (46.15%), and science (42.31%) all below state, even as 7th grade holds near state levels. Because the junior high and high school are small, a few students can move grade-level percentages a lot. Spending and class size don't map neatly onto results either: the high school spends the most ($20,952) with a 9.6 student-teacher ratio, while the junior high spends $19,713 with the smallest classes (9.0) yet dropped furthest in rank.
