GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I hope that Vermillion High School takes the opportunity to fully address issues in the future. Very often there will be a safety concern or a serious tragedy within the school and there is no overall acknowledgement. The only times I can remember there being class or school meetings are to talk about social media and drugs and not things that are actually affecting the school.

Like most kids in this generation, COVID-19 had a major impact on my experience in high school. However, I thought that Vermillion High School did a good job of enforcing safety through mask wearing and distancing, but also keeping the school environment as normal as possible. I think that it was important that our school was able to still participate in sports and stay in the classroom so that students like me could still enjoy the high school experience.

Overall I had a good experience at Vermillion High School. I had great teachers that made me feel comfortable to learn. I wasn't a fan of the odd schedules and partial disorganization with all the changes the principal was making, but it's a good school. I would have liked better computer science courses as well.

Honestly, I hate this school. The teachers don’t teach you, the staff doesn’t enforce rules, and bullying and harassment is non stop.
