Summary

Somerset Preparatory Academy Middle School (Homestead) is a mid-sized middle school in Homestead, FL, serving 385 students in grades 6-8 within the Miami-Dade school district, where nearly 80% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

This school has a unique "two-speed" academic profile. It excels at accelerating top students into high school-level coursework, with 83% proficient in Biology 1 and 73% in Algebra 1—both well above district and state averages. However, it struggles with grade-level math for younger students: only 50% of 6th graders and 39% of 7th graders were proficient in math, both below district averages. The school's 8th-grade cohort is a bright spot, with 73% proficient in ELA and 70% in math, competitive even with the area's top-performing Mater Academy Bay Middle School. A notable weakness is Civics, where only 53% of students were proficient, far below the district's 79%.

Two major concerns stand out. The student-teacher ratio has skyrocketed to 38.5:1—the highest among all nearby schools, where the next highest is 27.3:1 at Palm Glades Preparatory Academy. Additionally, spending per student is the lowest in the area at $7,902, compared to a range of $9,033 to $16,497 at other schools. Chronic absenteeism has also risen sharply to 31.2%. While the school has improved to a 3-star rating and the 53rd percentile statewide, these resource constraints pose risks to its recent momentum. For parents, this school offers strong advanced coursework opportunities but may require extra support for students in 6th and 7th-grade math.
