Summary

Somerset Academy Riverside is a K-5 elementary school in Coral Springs, FL, serving 426 students within the Broward County School District, where a high percentage of students (60.33%) come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Academically, the school has historically performed in the bottom half of Florida elementary schools, earning a 2-star rating for the past five years. While the most recent data shows a slight dip to the 35th percentile, there is a notable bright spot in English Language Arts (ELA). In the 2024-2025 school year, 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade ELA proficiency rates (64%, 64%, and 59%) were at or above district and state averages. However, Math and Science scores are a major concern. For example, 5th-grade Math proficiency (46%) and Science proficiency (38%) are well below nearby schools like Forest Hills Elementary (73% Math, 68% Science) and Maplewood Elementary (83% Math, 81% Science). Chronic absenteeism, while still high at 26.7%, has shown consistent improvement and is now lower than the district average (33.6%).

A key differentiator is the school's low per-pupil spending ($9,965), which is significantly less than almost all nearby traditional public schools, such as Ramblewood Elementary ($15,411) and Maplewood Elementary ($14,574). This combination of high student need and low resources raises questions about whether the school is underperforming or doing a remarkable job with limited funds. A direct comparison to James S. Hunt Elementary, which serves a similar population (60.58% economically disadvantaged) but outperforms Somerset in 5th-grade Math (68% vs. 46%) and Science (65% vs. 38%), suggests that Somerset's challenges are not solely due to demographics. The school's ability to improve will likely depend on securing more resources and implementing targeted interventions in math and science instruction.
