The school has earned recognition for its academic performance, ranking #214 out of 1,752 schools statewide, placing it in the 88th percentile among Oklahoma schools.
This strong showing has contributed to its 7.5 out of 10 MySchoolScout rating and an academic score of 8.1.

What Parents Should Know
Located in a rural area, Drummond ES may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
