Summary

Somerset Academy Middle School in Pembroke Pines, FL, is a high-performing public charter school serving 1,056 students in grades 6 through 8 as part of the Broward County Public School District.

This school consistently delivers strong academic results, outperforming both district and state averages in nearly every subject. For example, 89% of students were proficient in Algebra 1, compared to 68% district-wide, and 92% were proficient in Biology, versus 77% across the district. However, there are two notable concerns. First, 7th-grade math is a persistent weak spot, with only 58% of students proficient—below the district average of 66%. Second, chronic absenteeism spiked dramatically to 27.1% in 2023-2024, up from 15.9% the year before, though it remains below the district average of 33.6%. The school also operates with a very high student-to-teacher ratio of 35.2:1, far exceeding nearby schools like Falcon Cove Middle School (24:1) and Walter C. Young Middle School (19.1:1). Despite this, it spends the least per student ($8,285) among comparable schools, suggesting efficient operations but raising questions about resource allocation.

Interestingly, the school’s sister campus, Somerset Academy Middle (Miramar Campus), achieves even higher test scores (100% in Algebra 1, Geometry, and Biology) and has a much lower chronic absenteeism rate (0.5%), indicating the Pembroke Pines campus’s absenteeism spike is a localized issue. While Somerset Academy outperforms many nearby schools like Tequesta Trace Middle School in 8th-grade math and ELA, it is outpaced by City/Pembroke Pines Charter Middle School, which holds a 5-star rating. Addressing the 7th-grade math slump and absenteeism will be key to maintaining its strong reputation.
