Summary:
North Vermillion Com School Corp has just one elementary school — North Vermillion Elementary School in Cayuga, IN — serving grades PK–6 with 367 students, so this single school defines the entire elementary experience in the district. The corporation is ranked 282 of 374 Indiana districts, placing it in the 25th percentile with 1 star, and 59.4% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, with per-student spending of $12,208 in 2023–24 and a student-teacher ratio of 12.8 in 2024–25.
The clearest strength at North Vermillion Elementary School is attendance: chronic absenteeism is 10.1%, below the district's 10.8% and well below the statewide 16.7% — 6.6 percentage points lower than the state, a notable positive given the free/reduced lunch rate. Academically, the picture is more mixed. On 2025–26 ILEARN results, only 3rd grade Math (53.13%) came in above the state (51.9%), while 10 of the 11 grade-level subject comparisons fell below state averages. Fourth grade is the weakest area, with ELA at 12.5% vs. 42.2% state, Math at 17.5% vs. 52%, and Science at 15% vs. 43.8%.
The school's state ranking has also slipped over three years, from 647 of 1011 (36th percentile, 2 stars) in 2023–24 to 680 of 1005 (32nd percentile, 2 stars) in 2024–25, and then to 798 of 1015 (21st percentile, 1 star) in 2025–26. All-grade scores declined from 2024–25 to 2025–26: ELA from 28% to 21.47%, Math from 33% to 25.77%, and Science from 34.23% to 21.84%, though these reflect different student cohorts. Fifth grade Social Studies did improve, from 24.49% to 34.09%, but remains 13.11 points below state. Families should weigh the strong attendance culture against the need for improvement in 4th grade ELA, Math, and Science and in Math and ELA across grades 5 and 6.
