Summary:
The Bremen City School District is home to two elementary schools—Jones Elementary School (grades PK-3) and Bremen 4th & 5th Grade Academy (grades 4-5)—serving about 1,091 students in a district ranked #4 out of 201 in Georgia with a 5-star rating.
Both schools deliver standout academic results, particularly in math. At Jones Elementary, 76.1% of 3rd graders are proficient in math, compared to the state average of 48.3%. The Bremen 4th & 5th Grade Academy is even stronger, with 83.8% of 5th graders proficient in math in 2024-2025—nearly double the state rate—and it currently ranks in the 91st percentile statewide. In science, the academy's 5th graders hit 65.9% proficiency versus 44.2% statewide. English Language Arts scores from 2024-2025 show a clear upward trajectory across grade levels: 56.1% proficiency in 3rd grade, 54.0% in 4th, and 69.6% in 5th, all well above state averages. Chronic absenteeism is notably low at both schools (10.3% at Jones, 11.8% at the academy) compared to the state's 17.7%, reflecting strong attendance habits.
There are meaningful differences between the two campuses. Jones Elementary serves younger students and a higher share of economically disadvantaged families (36.4% free/reduced lunch vs. 25.5% at the academy), which aligns with its higher per-student spending of $14,023 compared to $12,237 at the academy. Student-teacher ratios are similar (14.0:1 vs. 14.7:1). While Jones has seen some ranking fluctuation—from the 95th percentile in 2013-2014 to 86th in 2015-2016—the academy has remained consistently in the 90th-95th percentile range. Together, these schools form a tightly aligned elementary program, with identical school and district test scores confirming a cohesive curriculum across all grade levels.
