Summary:
ZIP code 46506 covers Bremen, Indiana, and contains just two public schools, both in the Bremen Public Schools district: Bremen Elementary/Middle School, serving pre-kindergarten through 8th grade with 1,015 students, and Bremen Senior High School, serving grades 9–12 with 482 students, for a combined enrollment of 1,497. The district is ranked 119th of 374 Indiana districts (68th percentile, 3 stars), and families in this ZIP have no alternative or standalone middle school option.
Bremen Senior High School is the higher-rated of the two, ranked 108th of 415 schools (74th percentile, 4 stars) with a 96.2% graduation rate, above the state's 89.7%, and SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing proficiency of 60.19% versus the state's 51.9%. Its rank has slipped, though, from 46/432 (89th percentile) to 72/429 (83rd) to 108/415 (74th), and SAT Math fell from 38.94% in 2024–2025 — well above the state's 25.4% — to 21.3%, now 4.3 points below the state's 25.6%. Chronic absenteeism there is 17.5%, worse than the district's 12.8% and the state's 16.7%. Bremen Elementary/Middle School has chronic absenteeism of 10.6%, better than both, and beats the state in 3rd-grade math (61.11% vs. 51.9%), 4th-grade ELA (50.93% vs. 42.2%) and 8th-grade math (42.74% vs. 34.2%), but grades 5–8 ELA are all below state, and its rank declined from 338/1,011 (67th percentile) to 451/1,015 (56th).
Comparing the two, the high school has lower free/reduced lunch (39.83% vs. 51.92%) and spends $11,706 per student versus $9,681, about 20.9% more, with a slightly lower student-teacher ratio (14.8 vs. 15.9). Both schools are trending downward in rank, and math in the upper grades — especially 5th grade and high school SAT Math — is the biggest area to watch.
