Summary:
There is one high school serving the North Vermillion Com School Corp area: North Vermillion High School, a combined grades 7–12 campus at 5555 N Falcon Dr in Cayuga, Indiana, with 364 students and a student-teacher ratio of 9.4 to 1. Because it is the only high school in the corporation, families should read its results as year-over-year trends and comparisons against Indiana averages rather than against other local schools. The district itself is rated 1 star and ranked 282 of 374 districts statewide, while the school carries a 2-star rating.
Several areas look positive. Chronic absenteeism was 11.4% in 2024-2025, which is better than the district's 10.8% figure is close to and notably better than Indiana's 16.7% — about 5.3 percentage points below the state. Biology End-of-Course proficiency rose from 42.37% to 54.55%, a 12.18 percentage point gain, and the 2024-2025 rate was within 3.23 points of the state's 45.6%. The school's state rank also improved steadily, from 295 of 432 in 2023-2024 to 278 of 429 and then 261 of 415 in 2025-2026, moving from the 32nd to the 37th percentile. A low student-teacher ratio and per-student spending of $12,488 suggest structural supports are in place.
Math is the clearest concern. Only 1.67% of 11th graders met SAT Math proficiency in 2025-2026, down from 10.34% and 23.93 percentage points below the state's 25.6%. ILEARN Math proficiency was 16.81% across all grades versus 21.99% in the district, with 7th grade at 15.87% and 8th grade at 17.86% — well under state rates of 35.9% and 34.2%. Reading and writing are stronger but still behind: 7th grade ELA was 21.88% versus 41.7% statewide, 8th grade ELA 28.57% versus 44%, and SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing 41.67% versus 51.9%. The graduation rate of 83.3% trails Indiana's 89.7% by 6.4 points. With 52.2% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch and small grade cohorts, families should watch math intervention and completion supports most closely.
