Vermillion Elementary School

Q: Is Vermillion Elementary School a good school?

Vermillion Elementary School ranks 186 th of 653 Kansas elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Vermillion Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Maize, Kansas, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 835 students. The school is part of the highly-ranked Maize school district, which is ranked 36 out of 266 districts in Kansas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Vermillion Elementary School consistently outperforms the Maize district and the state of Kansas in the percentage of students proficient or better in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics across all grades. In 2023-2024, 52.87% of Vermillion students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 39.1% for Maize and 33.55% for Kansas. The school's performance is particularly strong in 3rd grade, where 56.18% of students were proficient or better in ELA and 64.75% were proficient or better in Mathematics. Additionally, Vermillion Elementary has a strong performance among its Hispanic and low-income student populations, ranking 65th and 76th, respectively, out of Kansas elementary schools in ELA for the 2023-2024 school year.

While Vermillion Elementary is performing well overall, the school's lower performance for its White and special education student populations suggests there may be opportunities to enhance support and interventions for these groups. Additionally, the school's free and reduced lunch rate, while lower than the nearby Maize schools, is still a significant portion of the student population, indicating the need to continue addressing the unique needs of students from low-income backgrounds.

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.
