Summary:
The South Vermillion Com School Corp district in Indiana consists of 4 schools: 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the schools, with Van Duyn Elementary School emerging as the standout performer in the district.
Van Duyn Elementary boasts the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science compared to the other schools. It also earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking 281 out of 1,005 Indiana elementary schools in 2024-2025. In contrast, South Vermillion Middle School had the lowest proficiency rates across all grades, while South Vermillion High School struggled with low SAT Math scores. These performance gaps suggest potential inequities in resources, teaching quality, or other factors that may be contributing to the disparities.
Chronic absenteeism is a concern across the district, with all schools reporting rates higher than the state average. Additionally, South Vermillion High School's statewide ranking has declined from 139 in 2022-2023 to 269 in 2024-2025, and its SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 3 stars to 2 stars over that time period. While higher spending per student at Van Duyn Elementary may be contributing to its stronger academic performance, the other schools do not show a clear correlation between spending and test scores.
