Bremen has really gone downhill in the past 5-10 years due to the towns feeding into it declining. There are fights almost everyday along with students not caring about their education and trying to act “gangster”, A few highlights of the school is the staff caring about your kids education, even if they or their parents don’t care, along with it’s Special Education program they offer. I would suggest sending your kind into a private school if you are in this area Bremen serves.

Bremen is cool, people will say its a run down ghetto, but I disagree. If you have pride, come to Bremen.

I graduated from Bremen. Did it prepare me for college? Absolutely not. Did I still manage to graduate from college? Absolutley. I felt Bremen set the standards low. However, I don't place all the blame on my old teachers. They teach based on the standards and expectations set by the district or higher ups. That, and most of the kids they teach come from grade schools and middle schools that are poorly ranked as well. So the cycle just continues. College was a wake up call to just how poor of an education I received up until high school. But...I still made it through college. All's well that ends well.

Bremen HS is known for its pride, but not its academics. At Bremen, freshmen are already placed in AP classes that cannot be compared to other school's Advanced Placement classes (usually only for jrs and srs) due to the low standards. Students get points for reading the syllabus or turning in a parent signature. These points may be acceptable in elementary school when teaching children certain responsibilities, but high school students should have developed these skills already. They are being prepared for college and a higher standard should be expected. Bremen has an inflated grading point system. An A in AP classes is worth 6.4. Honors courses: 6 points; regular courses 5 points; and essential courses 4 points. This extremely inflated grading system causes students to believe that they are a lot better prepared for life and further education than they actually are. They are being mislead. Thus, Bremen is failing to teach students what it means to truly succeed. Students obtain good grades too easily and graduate often without having obtained the very basic reading, math and other science skills that are expected of an average HS graduate - see test results.

I graduated from Bremen a few years ago, it wasn't a bad school at all. It always seemed underfunded, but the staff was mostly great and they did a good job with what was given. Like any school you take out what you put in. If a student wants to be great and succeed then they will. I am reading reviews here about people's kids not placing into community college and blaming it on the teachers, but I went to Bremen and had my pick of any college I wanted. I chose the honors/AP curriculum and actually wanted to learn and I did exactly that from the excellent staff that I was lucky to have. The best quality of Bremen was that it had a somewhat small student body so you generally knew at least everyone in your class' name if you even made a half-hearted effort. I'd much prefer this than the schools t hat have multiple thousands of kids and each one is just a face in the crowd. Not the best of the best school, but definitely not a school that people should intentionally avoid.
