Summary

Somerset Preparatory Academy (Homestead) is a K-5 elementary school in Homestead, FL, serving 506 students within the Miami-Dade school district, and it stands out for achieving above-average test scores despite serving a high-poverty population where 82% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school has shown a remarkable turnaround in recent years, climbing from a low point in 2020-2021 to a 4-star rating in 2023-2024, and it continues to hold a solid 3-star rating. Its math scores are a clear strength, with 3rd graders consistently outperforming both district and state averages—for example, 77% proficiency in 2025-2026 compared to the state's 66%. This is especially notable when compared to nearby schools like Keys Gate Charter School, where 3rd grade math proficiency has fluctuated dramatically. The school also keeps more students in class, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 23.1% that is significantly lower than neighbors like Gateway Environmental K-8 Learning Center (40.3%) and Leisure City K-8 Center (36.4%).

One interesting finding is that while Somerset Prep is a strong school, its nearby namesake, Somerset Academy Charter Elementary School (South Homestead), achieves even higher state rankings, suggesting potential for best-practice sharing. The school also operates very efficiently, spending just $7,760 per student—far less than schools like Avocado Elementary School ($16,749) and Campbell Drive K-8 Center ($13,949)—while still delivering strong academic results. Parents should note that 5th grade science scores, while still above state averages, have dipped from a peak of 62% in 2023-2024, which may be worth asking about during a school visit.
