In 2025–2026, it ranks 501st of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools — 52nd percentile, 3 stars — matching its district’s 52nd percentile, 3 stars. That is down from 2024–2025, when it was 75th percentile and 4 stars, though still above its 2016–2017 showing of 36th percentile, 2 stars. For comparison, Marengo Valley Elementary is 72nd percentile, 4 stars, while its Ashland School District is only 20th percentile, 1 star. Iron River Elementary is 39th percentile, 2 stars, while its Maple School District is 59th percentile, 3 stars.

Academically, results are above state average overall but uneven. Grade 6 is a clear strength: 77.78% proficient in ELA and 66.67% in math, both well above state averages. Math is generally stronger than ELA across grades 3–6. Grade 4 is the current weak spot: ELA is 40% (state 53.87%) and science is 35% (state 53.46%, down from 60% the prior year). Social studies is close to state average at 63.16% vs. 65.51%. Among common grades, Marengo Valley Elementary currently outperforms Drummond Elementary in most subjects; Iron River Elementary is more mixed, with very strong grade 5 math (92.86%) but weak grade 3 ELA (20%) and grade 4 science (0%).

Conditions are favorable: chronic absenteeism is 8.7%, lower than district 15.4%, state 17.3%, Marengo Valley Elementary 9.6%, and Iron River Elementary 18.9%, a major improvement from 36.2% in 2021–2022. Per-pupil spending is $17,418, above Marengo Valley ($15,450) and Iron River ($13,659), and the student-teacher ratio is 10.4 to 1, much lower than 14.8 and 15.3. Students from low-income families have been a strength — 92nd percentile, 5 stars in 2024–2025 — but current performance is 60th percentile, 3 stars. Male students also show volatility (86th percentile, 4 stars to 49th percentile, 2 stars), which may reflect small cohorts. Overall, Drummond Elementary has strong attendance, staffing, and grade 6 outcomes, with grade 4 ELA and science as the clearest areas to watch.
