Best Public Schools in Bremen, KY

Summary:

The city of Bremen, Kentucky has only one school, Bremen Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with an enrollment of 350 students. As the sole school in the area, Bremen Elementary is the focus of this analysis, which reveals a concerning trend of declining performance and underachievement compared to the broader Muhlenberg County district and the state of Kentucky.

Bremen Elementary's statewide ranking has dropped from 281 out of 687 Kentucky elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 348 out of 685 in 2024-2025, with its star rating declining from 3 to 2 over that time. The school's test scores in core subjects like mathematics, reading, and science generally lag behind the county and state averages, with some exceptions. Additionally, Bremen Elementary faces high levels of chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 25.0% in the 2024-2025 school year, which is concerning.

Despite the school's underperformance, Bremen Elementary has a relatively high per-student spending of $15,817 in 2023-2024 and a small student-teacher ratio of 14:1. These factors suggest that the school's challenges may be rooted in factors beyond just resource allocation, such as the high poverty levels, with 65.43% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. Addressing these underlying issues may be crucial in helping Bremen Elementary improve its academic outcomes and provide a high-quality education to its students.
