Summary

Somerset Preparatory Academy High School Homestead is a small high school in Homestead, FL, serving 376 students in grades 9-12 within the Miami-Dade school district, where over 81% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

This school presents a mixed picture for parents. On the positive side, it boasts a strong and improving graduation rate of 93.1% (2024-2025), and its 9th-grade English Language Arts (ELA) scores are a consistent bright spot, outperforming both the district and state averages. For example, 9th graders achieved 69% proficiency in ELA, compared to 63% for the district. However, the school faces significant challenges in mathematics, with only 19% of students proficient in Geometry and 40% in Algebra 1—a gap of 30-40 percentage points below the district average. A major concern is the extremely high chronic absenteeism rate of 40.8%, which is much higher than the district (28.2%) and state (31.4%) averages. The school also has a very high student-to-teacher ratio of 34.1:1, nearly double that of nearby Somerset Academy Charter High School (South Homestead) (19.8:1), which serves a similar demographic but achieves better math scores and a higher graduation rate (97.5%).

Compared to other local schools, Somerset Prep is a "middle of the pack" option in a low-performing area, surrounded by schools like Homestead Senior High School and South Dade Senior High School that also struggle with math and attendance. It is completely overshadowed by the Center For International Education A Cambridge Associate School, a 5-star school just 1.4 miles away with 90%+ proficiency in nearly every subject. The school also spends the least per student ($8,099) among all nearby schools, which likely contributes to its large class sizes and resource challenges. For parents, this school offers a supportive path to graduation and strong early literacy instruction, but the math struggles, attendance crisis, and large class sizes are critical factors to weigh.
