Drummond High School

Summary:

Drummond High School is a small public high school in Drummond, Montana, serving 63 students in grades 9-12. The school has shown strong academic performance in reading, with a significantly higher percentage of students proficient or better compared to the state average. However, the school's performance in mathematics and science has been below the state average.

Over the past few years, Drummond High School has had a varied performance in its statewide ranking, ranging from 18th to 114th out of Montana high schools. The school's SchoolDigger rating has also fluctuated, ranging from 0 to 4 stars out of 5, with the most recent years being rated 4 stars. The school maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.4 to 9.7 students per teacher over the past three school years.

Without data on nearby or comparable schools, it is difficult to make meaningful comparisons to assess Drummond High School's performance relative to its peers. The lack of information on free and reduced lunch rates also limits the understanding of the school's demographics and socioeconomic factors that could impact its academic performance. Further investigation and analysis would be beneficial to fully understand the school's dynamics and identify opportunities for improvement.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
