Q: Is North Vermillion Elementary School a good school?

Summary:

North Vermillion Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 332 students in grades PK-6 in Cayuga, Indiana, which is part of the North Central Parke Community School Corp district.

While North Vermillion Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (93.67%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 90-97% white, the school faces several challenges. Chronic absenteeism has steadily increased, rising from 8.6% in 2020-2021 to 14.6% in 2022-2023, higher than the 10.8% to 17.5% range of nearby schools like Rockville Elementary School and Southeast Fountain Elementary. Additionally, North Vermillion's test scores lag behind state averages and nearby schools, with only 33% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 31.03% in math, compared to state averages of 38.6-41.8% and 38.1-52.4%, respectively.

Despite increased spending per student, from $8,636 in 2018-2019 to $10,213 in 2021-2022, North Vermillion Elementary's academic performance has not improved. The school's statewide ranking has steadily declined, from 632 out of 1,046 Indiana elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 647 out of 1,010 in 2023-2024. To address these challenges, North Vermillion Elementary may need to look to the successes of nearby schools in the Southeast Fountain School Corp, Southwest Parke Com School Corp, and Covington Community School Corp districts.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
