Summary

South Vermillion Middle School is a public school in Clinton, Indiana, serving 494 students in grades 5–8 as part of South Vermillion Com School Corp, and it ranks 226th of 486 Indiana schools — the 53rd percentile with 3 stars — up from the 31st percentile and 2 stars in 2023–24.

Academically, the school is now slightly above the state median and generally stronger than the nearby Vigo County middle schools, including Sarah Scott Middle School, West Vigo Middle School, Otter Creek Middle School and Woodrow Wilson Middle School. On 2025–26 ILEARN tests it posted the highest all-grade math proficiency (38.39%) in its comparison group, trailing only North Clay Middle School in ELA (36.36%) and science (40.48%). Fifth grade is a clear strength: 5th-grade math is 55.24% versus the state's 42%, and 5th-grade social studies is 58.1% versus 47.2%. Because South Vermillion serves 5th grade while most nearby middle schools begin at 6th, its all-grade numbers get a lift. The biggest gaps are 6th-grade ELA (27.78% versus the state's 41.3%) and 8th-grade math (29.36% versus 34.2%). Parke Heritage Middle School is roughly comparable overall, with different strengths.

Attendance is the standout: chronic absenteeism was 11.3% in 2024–25 — lower than every nearby school, below the district's 13.7% and the state's 16.7%, and down sharply from 21.2% the year before. The school achieves this while spending less ($10,565 per pupil in 2023–24, the lowest among its peers) and with the highest student-teacher ratio in the group (14.8). North Clay remains the local benchmark at 4 stars, but South Vermillion's trend line is clearly moving up.
