Summary

Somerset Academy is a top-rated public elementary school (K-5) in Pembroke Pines, FL, serving 645 students within the Broward County School District.

This school consistently earns a 5-star rating and ranks in the top 10% of all Florida elementary schools, making it the highest-ranked school in its immediate area. Its strongest academic pillar is math, where proficiency rates (86-89%) far exceed district and state averages and outpace every nearby school, including the strong Franklin Academy Pembroke Pines. In 5th-grade science, Somerset Academy (73% proficient) is a clear leader among its Broward County peers, matching only Dolphin Bay Elementary School. What makes this even more impressive is the school's efficiency: it achieves these results with a relatively low per-student spending of $8,251, significantly less than schools like Silver Lakes Elementary School ($21,921 per student) which ranks much lower. The school also has a notably high student-teacher ratio of 24.8, yet still delivers superior academic outcomes, suggesting a highly effective instructional model.

Despite its stellar academics, a key area for improvement is chronic absenteeism, which sits at 24.8%—the highest among its nearby peer schools. For context, Franklin Academy F has a rate of just 4.3%. The school has shown remarkable stability and resilience, maintaining its elite status even through the pandemic years. With about 38% of students receiving free or reduced lunch, Somerset Academy demonstrates strong outcomes across a diverse student body, proving its effectiveness in serving a broad range of families compared to some more affluent neighboring schools.

My daughter was in public school earlier and we just got her enrolled in the Somerset academy. It's a good school and seems to be almost same standard as public school she attended before and almost same rank. The time is little better as it opens late and stays late. I found it more convenient because it is from K-12. Also has less also bullying incidents in the school due to more restrictions. She likes it but to me personally there was more homework in the public school and that was good. I will see how it goes here. Close Quote
