Summary

Somerset Arts Academy is a K-5 elementary school in Homestead, FL, serving 413 students within the Miami-Dade school district, and it has become a standout performer despite serving a predominantly low-income community where over 75% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

What truly sets Somerset Arts Academy apart is its exceptional academic performance, especially in Math and Science, which far exceeds both district and state averages. For example, in the most recent school year, 3rd-grade Math proficiency reached 80%, significantly higher than nearby schools like Laura C. Saunders Elementary School (50%) and Campbell Drive K-8 Center (34%). In 5th-grade Science, Somerset Arts posted a remarkable 73% proficiency rate, a 35-point lead over the next closest non-charter school. The school also boasts the highest 5th-grade English Language Arts score in the area at 84%. This strong performance is part of a broader "Somerset Network" effect, where Somerset-branded charter schools consistently outperform traditional public schools in the same neighborhoods. Additionally, the school has a chronic absenteeism rate of just 19.2%, which is dramatically lower than neighbors like Florida City Elementary School (41.7%) and Gateway Environmental K-8 Learning Center (40.3%), indicating strong family engagement and a positive school culture.

Perhaps most impressive is that Somerset Arts achieves these results while spending significantly less per student ($9,927) than many lower-performing peers, such as Avocado Elementary School ($16,749). The school has also shown a remarkable turnaround trajectory, climbing from a 2-star rating in 2020-2021 to a consistent 3 and 4-star performer, now ranking in the 65th percentile statewide. While there was a slight dip in the most recent year, the school still outperforms district and state averages in nearly every subject and grade level, making it a compelling choice for families seeking a high-quality education in Homestead.
