Summary

Bremen Elementary/Middle School is a public school serving 1,038 students in grades PK-8 in Bremen, Indiana, which is part of the Bremen Public Schools district. The district is ranked 73 out of 380 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Bremen Elementary/Middle School generally performs on par with or slightly above the state averages in ILEARN English Language Arts, Math, and Science assessments, its performance lags behind some of the higher-performing nearby schools like Wakarusa Elementary and Meadow's Edge Elementary. The school has also seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 12.2% in 2021-2022 to 17.8% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average.

Additionally, Bremen Elementary/Middle School has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 42.21% to 53.3% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average. The school's per-student spending has also increased from $8,458 in 2020-2021 to $9,681 in 2023-2024, which is on the higher end compared to nearby schools. Despite the higher spending and slightly higher student-teacher ratio, the school's academic performance is not significantly better than some of the higher-performing nearby schools, suggesting that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be influencing the school's performance.
