Summary:
The Drummond Area School District in rural northwestern Wisconsin contains a single middle school, Drummond Junior High, which serves grades 7–8 and enrolls 53 students in Drummond, WI 54832. Because it is the only middle school in the area, district-level results for these grades are identical to the school's, and there is no second school to compare against. The district as a whole ranks 209 of 432 in Wisconsin, or the 52nd percentile, with 3 stars.
Attendance is the school's clearest strength. Chronic absenteeism was 9.4% in 2024–2025, well below the district's 15.4% and the state's 17.3%, and the dropout rate was 0.0%, compared with 1.1% statewide. Academic results in 2024–2025 were strong in several subjects: 8th grade science reached 79.31% proficient against a state average of 50.04%, social studies hit 75.86% versus 62.51%, and 8th grade math reached 65.52% versus 53.06%. Resource figures look favorable on paper, with a 9:1 student-teacher ratio, $19,713 in per-student spending, and 39.62% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Results for 2025–2026 are much weaker and split sharply by grade. Seventh grade moved slightly above state averages in both ELA (56.25% vs. 55.33%) and math (58.82% vs. 55.67%), while 8th grade fell below the state in all four tested subjects: ELA 30.77%, math 50.00%, social studies 46.15%, and science 42.31%. Eighth grade science dropped 37.00 points from the prior year and social studies 29.71 points. The school's rank fell to 457 of 643 — the 29th percentile with 1 star — after sitting at the 54th–55th percentile with 3 stars the two previous years. With only 53 students, a handful of test-takers can swing these percentages dramatically, so next year's results will show whether this is an outlier or the start of a trend.
