Bremen Elementary/Middle School

Summary:

Bremen Elementary/Middle School is a public school serving around 1,000 students in grades PK-8 in Bremen, Indiana, which is part of the Plymouth Community School Corp. The school's test scores are generally on par with or slightly below the state averages, but it outperforms some nearby schools like Washington Discovery Academy and LaVille Elementary School, particularly in math.

However, Bremen Elementary/Middle School faces some challenges, including fluctuating chronic absenteeism rates that have been higher than the state's target. The school also serves a relatively high percentage of students from low-income families, with 42-53% receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests the school may need to allocate additional resources and support to address the needs of these students and their families.

While Bremen Elementary/Middle School's performance is not exceptional compared to the top-performing schools in the area, such as Meadow's Edge Elementary School and Wakarusa Elementary School, it is doing a relatively good job of supporting student learning, particularly in math. The school's diverse student population, with a significant Hispanic population, could be an asset, but may also present unique challenges that the school and Plymouth Community School Corp will need to address.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
