Summary

Vermillion Elementary School serves 874 students in prekindergarten through grade 4 in Maize, Kansas. In 2025–26, 63% of students were proficient in English Language Arts (ELA) and 57% in math, compared with 55% and 50% across the Maize district and 46% and 41% statewide. The most important takeaway is that Vermillion outperformed both district and state results in both subjects.

Against nearby schools, math is Vermillion’s clearest strength: its 57% result was the highest among the 10 nearby schools, whose average was 46%. ELA proficiency was 63%, about 7 points above the nearby-school average, and third-highest among the four nearby elementary schools in the Maize district. Results vary by grade, however. Grade 3 math was especially strong at 66%, compared with 49% in grade 4; grade 4 math was 1 point below the district result, though 5 points above the state. Grade 3 ELA was below the district and all four nearby Maize schools, while grade 4 ELA was 2 points above the district.

Results have improved since 2022–23 but slipped from their 2024–25 highs: ELA rose from 43% to 63% over the period, then fell 8 points in the latest year; math rose from 48% to 57%, then fell 4 points. SchoolDigger gives Vermillion 4 stars and a 79th-percentile statewide ranking, down from the 88th percentile in 2024–25 but up from the 57th percentile in 2020–21. Its 2024–25 student–teacher ratio of 23.1 was the highest among nearby schools, whose average was 12.8. The free/reduced-lunch rate was 29%, the lowest among the four nearby Maize elementary schools. A notable subgroup result is SchoolDigger’s 98th-percentile effectiveness ranking for Hispanic students, compared with 79th percentile overall. Its historical ranking for Disabled Students fell from the 79th percentile in 2018–19 to the 38th percentile in 2020–21; no newer result for that group was supplied.
