For 2025–2026, the school ranked 451st of 1,015 Indiana schools, placing it in the 56th percentile with a 3-star rating, down from the 69th percentile in 2022–2023. All-grades proficiency was 37.71% in English language arts, 45.87% in math, and 37.96% in science. Chronic absenteeism was 10.6%, better than the district's 12.8% and the state's 16.7%.

Compared with nearby schools, Bremen is by far the largest at 1,015 students — the next biggest, LaVille Elementary School, has 649 — and it is the only PK–8 school in the group, so all-grades comparisons are not perfectly even. Its 56th-percentile rank is above Washington Discovery Academy (25th) and LaVille (37th) but below Webster Elementary School, Jefferson Elementary School, Triton Elementary School, Nappanee Elementary School, Woodview Elementary School, Madison Elementary School, and Wakarusa Elementary School. Math is nearly identical to Meadow's Edge Elementary School (45.87 vs. 45.88), but English language arts is weaker than most peers. Bremen's attendance beats state and district averages, yet top nearby schools post much lower chronic absenteeism — Jefferson at 2.7%, Webster at 4.6%, and Wakarusa at 5.1%. Bremen's poverty rate is middle-of-the-pack, and its per-student spending is the second-lowest in the group.
Bremen's 3rd- and 4th-grade results beat state averages in both ELA and math, and grades 6–8 math was at or above state. Chronic absenteeism has fallen dramatically from 23.4% in 2021–2022 to 10.6%. On the other hand, grades 5–8 ELA fell below state, science was below state in grades 4 and 6, and 5th-grade social studies dropped sharply from 49.07% to 40.22%. All-grades ELA and math also slipped year over year. Overall, Bremen is a solidly mid-tier 3-star school in a mid-tier district, ahead of Washington Discovery and LaVille, roughly comparable to Meadow's Edge, but behind Triton, Jefferson, Webster, Nappanee, Woodview, Madison, and especially Wakarusa.
