Summary

Somerset Academy Riverside Charter Middle School is a small public charter school in Coral Springs, FL, serving 306 students in grades 6 through 8 within the Broward County school district.

This school presents a fascinating mix of strengths and challenges. Its most impressive achievement is an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 9.8%—the lowest among all 10 nearby middle schools, compared to the district average of 33.6%. This strong attendance likely fuels the school's recent academic rebound to a 3-star rating. However, the school shows a "barbell effect" in academics: it excels at pushing high-achieving students into advanced coursework, with 90% proficiency in Algebra 1 and 93% in Biology 1 End-of-Course exams. Yet, the majority of students struggle with grade-level math, as only 30% of 8th graders were proficient in the state math exam—far below the district (47%) and state (61%) averages. This contrasts sharply with the area's top performer, Westglades Middle School, which achieves high proficiency across all subjects.

For parents, this means Somerset Academy may be an excellent fit if your child is ready for advanced high school-level classes, as the school has a strong pipeline for gifted students. However, if your child needs strong support in grade-level math or science (only 31% of 8th graders were proficient in science), you may want to investigate how the school addresses these gaps. The school also has a very high student-to-teacher ratio of 35.6:1, which could mean less individual attention compared to nearby schools like Lyons Creek Middle School or Sawgrass Springs Middle School, which have ratios around 20:1. The school's recent upward trend is promising, but its long-term success will depend on whether it can translate its success in advanced coursework and attendance to its core academic programs.
