Summary

North Vermillion High School in Cayuga, IN, serves 364 students in grades 7–12 and is part of the North Vermillion Com School Corp, whose district rank is 282 of 374. The school itself ranked 261 of 415 (37th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026, an improvement from 322 of 409 (21st percentile, 1 star) in 2021–2022. Among nearby traditional high schools, North Vermillion’s district is the lowest-ranked, but the school’s own percentile is somewhat higher than its district percentile, suggesting it may be a relative bright spot within its district.

Key metrics show a mix of strengths and challenges. Chronic absenteeism is 11.4% in 2024–2025, better than Indiana’s 16.7% and lower than every traditional nearby school—a standout strength. Graduation rate is 83.3%, below the state’s 89.7% and well below nearby traditional schools (91.1% to 97.7%). SAT Math proficiency is 1.67%, versus the state’s 25.6% and nearby schools’ 11.9% to 26.98%—an extreme weakness. SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing is 41.67%, below all comparable nearby schools. Biology End-of-Course is 54.55% proficient, above most nearby schools except Parke Heritage High School. ILEARN all grades: ELA 25%, Math 16.81%. Free/reduced lunch is 52.2%, per-student spending $12,488, and student-teacher ratio 9.4. Low-SES students ranked 142/390 (64th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026, a bright spot.

Attendance is the strongest differentiator, while math is the most serious academic weakness. Biology is a relative strength. The low-SES subgroup performance is promising, but graduation rate is a clear concern. Resources alone do not explain outcomes: moderate spending and a low student-teacher ratio coexist with lower test scores. North Vermillion outperforms Riverton Parke Junior-Senior High School in overall rank but trails Parke Heritage High School, Covington Community High School, South Vermillion High School, and Fountain Central High School. Its best differentiators are attendance and low-SES performance; its biggest challenges are math achievement and graduation rate.
