Summary

Somerset College Preparatory Academy South High School is a small public high school in Miami, FL, serving 315 students in grades 9-12 within the Miami-Dade district, where the majority of students come from low-income households.

This school faces significant challenges that set it apart from nearby schools. Academic proficiency is notably low across most subjects—for example, only 39% of students are proficient in Algebra 1, compared to 85% at both Coral Reef Senior High School and Somerset Academy Charter High School. The most alarming issue is chronic absenteeism, which skyrocketed from 15.7% to 36.6% in just one year—nearly 4.5 times higher than Cutler Bay Senior High School (8.2%). The student-to-teacher ratio of 28.6 is also high, straining individual attention. While the graduation rate of 93.3% appears positive, it masks these deeper academic and attendance problems, suggesting students may graduate without mastering essential skills.

Interestingly, the "Somerset" name doesn't guarantee quality: Somerset Academy Charter High School, just 3 miles away, is a high-performing 5-star school with strong test scores and low absenteeism, despite serving a similar student population. There is one bright spot: Geometry proficiency has improved from 39% to 59% over recent years, exceeding state averages. However, the school's overall instability—marked by a dramatic drop in spending and a near-doubling of class sizes between 2022-2023 and 2023-2024—raises concerns about its ability to provide consistent, quality education.
