Summary:
New Bremen Local is a small, high-performing Ohio district with just two schools serving students from kindergarten through 12th grade: New Bremen Elementary School (grades K–6, 446 students) and New Bremen High School (grades 7–12, 384 students), for a total enrollment of 830. The district is ranked #3 of 773 Ohio districts, placing it at the 100th percentile with a 5-star rating. There is no middle school or alternative school in this list.
Both schools rank among the strongest in Ohio. New Bremen High School was #9 of 795 high schools in 2025–2026 and #3 of 864 in 2023–2024, while New Bremen Elementary School was #15 of 1,560 elementary schools — both at the 99th percentile with 5 stars. Across the listed tests, proficiency runs roughly 30 percentage points above state averages. The high school reports a 98.2% graduation rate, with Algebra I at 98.5% versus 61.6% statewide and American History at 96.5% versus 73.2%. The elementary school posted 100% proficiency in 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th grade math. Chronic absenteeism is low: 1.7% at the elementary, 4.9% at the high school, and 3.2% district-wide.
Comparing the two, New Bremen High School spent more per student — $11,709 versus $9,836 at the elementary (2018–2019 data) — and has a slightly lower student-teacher ratio (16.6 versus 17.8). The one relative soft spot is high school 7th grade math at 78.4%, still far above the state's 48.6% but below the district's 86.0% and down from 85.0% the prior year. Note that the elementary free/reduced-lunch figure is unknown in this data, spending is from 2018–2019 only, and a 7th grade math result appears under both schools.
