Summary:
The North Vermillion Com School Corp district in Indiana has only one elementary school, North Vermillion Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The school has a relatively homogeneous student population, with 93.67% of students identifying as White, and a high percentage (53.92%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage.
Academically, North Vermillion Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on the ILEARN assessment, with proficiency rates ranging from around 20% to 40% across different grade levels and subject areas. The school's overall proficiency rates for the 2023-2024 school year were 33% in English Language Arts and 31.03% in Math, both below the state averages. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 14.6% is higher than the state's target of 10% or less, which could negatively impact student learning and overall school performance.
Despite these challenges, North Vermillion Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.8, which may indicate smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for students. The school's spending per student for the 2021-2022 school year was $10,213, which is in line with the state's average spending per student. The district and school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the academic underperformance, high chronic absenteeism, and the unique needs of their economically disadvantaged student population.
