Summary

Somerset Academy Elementary South Campus is a high-performing K-5 charter school in Miami, FL, serving 347 students as part of the Broward district, and it has earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for five consecutive years.

This school stands out for its exceptional academic results, consistently outperforming both the district and state averages in math, English Language Arts (ELA), and science. For example, in the 2025-2026 school year, 98% of 3rd graders were proficient in math, compared to 73% in the district and 66% statewide, while 92% of 5th graders were proficient in ELA, a full 31 points above the state average. What makes this even more impressive is that the school achieves these top-tier scores with a high student-teacher ratio of 28.9:1 and lower spending per student ($8,530) than many nearby high-performing peers. For context, Sunset Elementary School, ranked #5 in the state, spends $12,155 per student and has a much lower student-teacher ratio of 15.2:1, but serves a less economically diverse population. This makes Somerset Academy Elementary South Campus a model of cost-effective, high-quality education.

One interesting finding is that the "Somerset" name doesn't guarantee quality across all campuses. While this school and the nearby Somerset Academy Elementary School (South Miami Campus) in the Miami-Dade district are both top performers, Somerset Academy Lakes in Palm Beach is a 2-star school. However, a growing concern is the school's chronic absenteeism rate, which has risen from 4.7% in 2020-2021 to 19.5% in 2023-2024. While still below the district average of 33.6%, this upward trend is worth monitoring, as it could eventually impact the school's stellar academic performance.
