Summary:

North Vermillion High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 with 341 students in Cayuga, Indiana, which is part of the Southwest Parke Com School Corp district.

North Vermillion High School faces significant challenges, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and consistently ranking in the bottom third of Indiana high schools. The school has a much higher percentage of white students (94.43%) compared to the state average, and its academic performance, as measured by ILEARN and SAT proficiency rates, is well below state and nearby school averages. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate of 83.3% is lower than the state average and some nearby schools, such as Covington Community High School, which has a 98.4% graduation rate. North Vermillion High School also experiences high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.1% to 32.0% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools.

Interestingly, North Vermillion High School's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past decade, from a high of 255 out of 400 Indiana high schools in 2014-2015 to its current ranking of 367 out of 431 in 2023-2024. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with female and white students ranking significantly lower than their male and non-white counterparts, respectively, within the state. Despite spending approximately $12,305 per student, which is higher than the state average and some nearby schools, North Vermillion High School's increased spending does not appear to translate into improved academic outcomes, suggesting potential inefficiencies in resource allocation.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
