Summary

Somerset Academy is a high-performing K-5 elementary school in Miami, FL, serving 805 students within the Miami-Dade district, and it consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Florida despite serving a student body where over two-thirds qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school stands out dramatically from its neighbors. For the 2025-2026 school year, Somerset Academy ranks in the 89th percentile statewide, far outpacing nearby schools like Pine Lake Elementary (29th percentile), Caribbean K-8 Center (28th percentile), and Miami Heights Elementary (27th percentile). Its math performance is exceptional, with 92% of 3rd graders, 89% of 4th graders, and 90% of 5th graders proficient—rates that are 20-25 percentage points higher than the state average. English Language Arts scores are also strong and consistent across all grades. What makes this even more impressive is that Somerset achieves these results with lower per-pupil spending ($10,014) and larger class sizes (21.1:1 student-teacher ratio) compared to schools like Pine Villa Elementary, which spends $24,452 per student with a 14.4:1 ratio.

While the school's academic story is one of excellence and resilience—bouncing back from a pandemic dip to reach new heights—there is one growing concern. Chronic absenteeism has risen sharply from 15.6% in 2021-2022 to 29.1% in 2023-2024, now higher than the district average. This is a trend worth monitoring, as consistent attendance is key to maintaining the school's stellar performance. Additionally, while still above average, 5th-grade science proficiency (70%) is a relative weakness compared to math and reading, and it trails the 71% rate at nearby Johnnie M Parris Colonial Drive Elementary.
