Summary

Somerset Academy Charter High School (South Homestead) is a small high school in Homestead, FL, serving 497 students in grades 9-12 within the Miami-Dade school district, a district rated 4 out of 5 stars. The school serves a predominantly low-income community, with over 82% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and has a consistent 2-star state rating, placing it in the middle of the pack academically.

The school’s most notable strength is its high and improving graduation rate, which reached 97.5% in the 2024-2025 school year, significantly outpacing both the district (93.1%) and state (92.2%) averages. However, this success is contrasted by a major challenge: extremely high chronic absenteeism, which stood at 46.3% in the 2023-2024 school year—18 percentage points higher than the district average. Academically, while proficiency rates in core subjects are generally below district and state averages, the school is showing strong upward trends in key areas like Algebra 1, 9th Grade ELA, and Biology 1, suggesting recent academic interventions may be starting to take effect.

Interestingly, Somerset Academy is located near several high-performing schools, such as the School for Advanced Studies Homestead and Medical Academy for Science and Technology (M.A.S.T.) @ Hom, which have 5-star ratings and near-perfect test scores. This proximity highlights significant educational inequality within the same community. Additionally, the "Somerset" brand does not guarantee a uniform experience, as Somerset Preparatory Academy High School Homestead shows slightly different academic strengths. A potential bright spot is the school’s student-teacher ratio, which dropped to 19.8:1 in 2024-2025, lower than nearby traditional high schools like Homestead Senior High School and South Dade Senior High School, which could allow for more personalized attention to help address attendance and academic challenges.
