Summary

Somerset Academy Elementary School (South Miami Campus) is a public charter school in South Miami, FL, serving 491 students in grades K-5 and consistently ranking among the top 1% of elementary schools in Florida.

This school is an academic powerhouse, with proficiency rates that are 30-40 percentage points higher than the Miami-Dade district and state averages. For example, 96% of 3rd graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 64% in the district. The school also stands out for its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 3.8%, which is dramatically lower than nearby district-run schools like Ludlam Elementary School (16-18%) and South Miami K-8 Center (16-18%). With a student-to-teacher ratio of 15.8:1, Somerset offers a more intimate learning environment than many peers, and it achieves these elite results while spending $11,758 per student—less than the nearby district-run schools.

Its most direct rival is Sunset Elementary School, located just 0.86 miles away, which is also a top-1% school. While Sunset currently holds a slightly higher state rank (#5 vs. #17), Somerset has a longer track record of top-10 rankings and a lower chronic absenteeism rate (3.8% vs. 6.5%). Somerset is part of a unique "charter school hub" at 6340 Sunset Dr, where parents can choose from several schools, but Somerset's performance is head and shoulders above most co-located options, including Somerset Academy Elementary South Campus (ranked #200) and Pinecrest Academy Avalon.

My opinion of the school is the following. My children have enjoyed attending this school and the teachers here are great. Coach Ryan the athletic director has been doing tryouts for the kids sports teams from grade kinder and up. If you dont get enough points you dont make the team. These are 5 and 6 year olds that regardless of ability or size should be allowed to experience the benefits of athletic competition. This year two children were left off the soccer team until it was brought to the attention of the coach. The response of coach Ryan when I spoke to him about this was " if you dont like it you can take your children out of the program ". After many requests to discuss the fact that children were excluded from sports here based on size and or ability with the principal. I finally received a call from her. The principal was arrogant, condescending and refused to discuss the matter beyond saying any adjustments necessary will be made next year. She also would not confirm any adjustments would be made. I really expected more from the leader of this fine school and the sports coach. Close Quote
