Summary

Somerset Academy Pompano (K-5) is a small elementary school in Pompano Beach, FL, serving 152 students from Kindergarten through 5th grade within the Broward district, and it stands out as a remarkable turnaround story. After years of low performance, the school has surged from the 16th percentile statewide in 2022-2023 to the 59th percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 3-star rating. This is especially impressive given that 92.76% of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch—the highest rate among all nearby schools, compared to 83% at Somerset Pines Academy and just 31.96% at Winston Park Elementary School.

The school’s academic growth has been dramatic, particularly in Math. For example, 3rd-grade Math proficiency jumped from 22% in 2022-2023 to 73% in 2025-2026, and 4th-grade Math soared from 50% to 81%. This outpaces many better-funded neighbors, such as Tedder Elementary School and Park Ridge Elementary School, in nearly every test category. However, 5th-grade Science remains a weak spot, with only 44% proficiency compared to the district’s 63%. The school also operates with an extremely high student-teacher ratio of 30.4:1—far above the 15:1 at Cresthaven Elementary School—and the lowest per-student spending at $10,441, versus $16,439 at Sanders Park Elementary School.

Despite these challenges, Somerset Academy Pompano has maintained a chronic absenteeism rate of just 20.8% in 2023-2024, well below the district’s 33.6% and far lower than high-poverty peers like Charles Drew Elementary School (44.9%) and Robert C. Markham Elementary (47.7%). This efficiency—achieving strong results with fewer resources—makes the school a standout. While its sibling Somerset Pines Academy has a slightly higher overall ranking (64th percentile), Somerset Academy Pompano matches or exceeds it in key Math scores, proving that focused strategies and strong community engagement can drive success even in the most challenging circumstances.

Open Quote This school can be better but need to get rid of the principal. she is overwhelmed with running two schools and spend most of her time at the other school than at sumerset pompano. She is never there and does not have an assistant principal. If parents need to speak to her they have to go to the other school or wait for her to visit pompano. Some of the teachers are good but not all of them. The lady who used to work at the front desk got arrested on child abuse charges and one of the teacher has a mugshot. it is all over the internet parents becareful of your child teacher. My child is in the ESE program. It used to be good but not anymore they only have one teacher who work at both schools this teacher is always at the other school and do not see my child as much. A fifth grade boy took a knife to school. A few weeks later he threaten to shoot up the school. they did not expel the boy he is still attending the school. After what happened at Stoneman Douglas we believe the principal would put children safety first she did not. she still has the boy in school and didn't even hire security. I will not send my child to this school next year bye somerset pompano!!!!!! Close Quote
