Bremen Public Schools

Bremen Public Schools is a small Indiana district serving about 1,497 students across two schools: Bremen Elementary/Middle School (PK–8, enrollment 1,015) and Bremen Senior High School (9–12, enrollment 482). The elementary/middle school holds roughly 67.8% of district enrollment, the high school about 32.2%. District-wide, Bremen is ranked 119 of 374 in Indiana, at the 68th percentile with 3 stars.

Bremen Senior High School is the stronger of the two, ranking 108 of 415 (74th percentile) with 4 stars. Its graduation rate is 96.2%, well above the state's 89.7%, and SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing proficiency is 60.19% versus the state's 51.9%. The weak spots are notable, though: SAT Math is 21.3% against the state's 25.6% — a sharp drop from 38.94% the prior year — and chronic absenteeism is 17.5%, above both the district's 12.8% and the state's 16.7%.

Bremen Elementary/Middle School stands out for attendance, with chronic absenteeism of 10.6% — better than district and state — and for math, which is above state in grades 3, 4, 7, and 8. Its ELA results in grades 5 through 8 are below state, however, and it sits at 3 stars and the 56th percentile. Both schools have seen their rank percentiles decline over three years (the elementary/middle school from 67 to 63 to 56; the high school from 89 to 83 to 74). The high school spends $11,706 per student versus $9,681 at the elementary/middle school, with a lower free/reduced lunch rate (39.83% vs 51.92%).
