Summary

Somerset Academy Charter High in Pembroke Pines, FL, serves approximately 1,450 students in grades 9-12 within the Broward County Public School District, and it has built a strong reputation for academic excellence, particularly in English Language Arts.

This school truly shines in reading and writing, with 79% of 9th and 10th graders proficient in ELA—a rate that outpaces the district average and even surpasses nearby high-performing schools like Cypress Bay High School (81%) and West Broward High School (73-80%). It also boasts an exceptional graduation rate, consistently above 95% and reaching 100% in two of the last five years, a feat made more impressive given its larger student body compared to the nearby Somerset Arts Conservatory. However, the school has a notable weakness in math, with Algebra 1 and Geometry proficiency rates (52% and 49%) significantly below the district average and the lowest among all nearby Broward high schools. Additionally, a dramatic spike in chronic absenteeism to 50.6% in 2023-2024, up from 20.3% the year prior, is a major concern that far exceeds the district average and rates at schools like Franklin Academy Pembroke Pines High School (11.1%).

Despite these challenges, Somerset Academy is a highly efficient school, spending $9,703 per student—less than peers like City/Pembroke Pines Charter High School ($11,149)—while still achieving strong results in ELA and graduation rates. It also excels in Biology and US History, with proficiency rates of 78-79%. For parents, this school offers a top-tier literacy program and a high likelihood of graduation, but it is important to investigate the absenteeism issue and consider whether the math curriculum will meet your child's needs, especially when compared to the specialized, smaller environment of the Somerset Arts Conservatory, which outperforms in nearly every subject.
