Summary:
ZIP code 47928 in Cayuga, Indiana contains two schools — North Vermillion Elementary School (grades PK–6, enrollment 367) and North Vermillion High School (grades 7–12, enrollment 364) — both in the North Vermillion Com School Corp district, with 731 students total and no separate middle or alternative school.
The two schools are moving in opposite directions. The elementary school's state rank percentile fell from 36th to 32nd to 21st over three years, dropping to 1 star, while the high school rose from 32nd to 35th to 37th and held 2 stars. The elementary's clearest bright spot is 3rd grade math at 53.13% proficient, above the state's 51.9%, and its chronic absenteeism of 10.1% beats both the district (10.8%) and the state (16.7%). But 4th grade is a red flag: math at 17.5% versus 52% statewide, ELA at 12.5% versus 42.2%, and science at 15% versus 43.8%. At the high school, Biology End-of-Course is the strongest result anywhere in the data at 54.55% proficient, up from 42.37%, and its student-teacher ratio of 9.4 is more favorable than the elementary's 12.8. Yet SAT Math fell to 1.67% proficient against 25.6% statewide, and the 83.3% graduation rate trails Indiana's 89.7%.
Because the high school serves grades 7–12, its 7th and 8th grade ILEARN results, all below state, count toward its overall profile. Both schools serve economically disadvantaged populations, with free/reduced lunch at 59.4% and 52.2% and similar per-student spending of $12,208 and $12,488. Overall, the district ranks 282 of 374 Indiana districts.
