Summary

North Vermillion Elementary School is a PK–6 school in the small rural town of Cayuga, Indiana, serving 367 students as part of North Vermillion Com School Corp, and it ranks 798th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools in 2025–26 — the 21st percentile, or 1 star — a sharp drop from 2021–22, when it placed 566th of 1,020 (45th percentile, 2 stars). Until this year, it had been a 2-star school every year in the available history.

In 2025–26, all-grade proficiency was 21.47% in English language arts, 25.77% in math, and 21.84% in science — the lowest math and science results among nearby schools, and roughly 14.5, 19.4, and 17.9 points below the nearby averages. Fourth grade is the clearest concern: 12.5% in ELA, 17.5% in math, and 15% in science, below the state and every nearby school. Third grade math, at 53.13%, is the one subject above the state's 51.9%, but it still trails Rockville Elementary School, Southeast Fountain Elementary, Turkey Run Elementary School, Montezuma Elementary School, and Covington Elementary School.

Chronic absenteeism improved to 10.1% in 2024–25, better than the district's 10.8% and the state's 16.7%, so attendance is a relative strength rather than the main red flag. Poverty is high, with 59.4% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, but that is similar to Rockville, Southeast Fountain, and Turkey Run, which post stronger results — so poverty alone does not explain the achievement gap. Per-student spending is $12,208 (2023–24), up about 30% since 2020–21, and the student-teacher ratio is 12.8, mid-range among nearby schools, even as results declined.
