Summary:
The city of Bremen, Indiana is home to two schools - Bremen Elementary/Middle School and Bremen Senior High School, both part of the Bremen Public Schools district. While the high school is a standout performer, ranking among the top 25% of Indiana high schools, the elementary/middle school has more average academic outcomes.
Bremen Senior High School boasts a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and an impressive 88.4% four-year graduation rate, well above the state average. In contrast, Bremen Elementary/Middle School ranks in the middle third of Indiana elementary schools, with test scores generally on par with or slightly above state averages. The high school also spends more per student ($11,706) compared to the elementary/middle school ($9,681), which may contribute to the performance gap.
Both schools, however, share a concerning statistic - a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8%, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the elementary/middle school has a much higher percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 52.7%, compared to 42.04% at the high school, suggesting potential equity issues within the district that warrant further investigation.
