This school stands out for its exceptional consistency, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for ten consecutive years and ranking in the 82nd to 88th percentile statewide over the past decade.

What truly sets Somerset Academy Boca East apart is its remarkable efficiency.

For example, in 4th grade math, Somerset scored 89% proficient—the highest of any nearby elementary school—outpacing Blue Lake Elementary (78%) and Del Prado Elementary (64%).

This school is a for profit school that could care less about kids. They love fundraisers, asking for fees, high supply costs, and expensive uniforms. Do you see the money? No The curriculum is standard public school boxed curriculum. No extras. No innovative ideas as promised. Teachers are a mixed bag. Some are good and some are beyond terrible. Current principal is inexperienced in elementary management, a charmer granted, but does not have the knowledge to push for true academic content. School is in the back of a temple - crowded classrooms and facilities. No cafeteria - contracted lunch brought in for school. No nurse. No library or media specialist. And don't even think about this school if your child has special needs, has not been already labeled gifted and you desire eval for that, and/or you need transportation. Also, all extra programs for kids are pay as you go. Higher than average after care program costs too. Regular public is better option unless you have money for donations to garner special treatment. And if you have that kind of money then just go private. There are three private schools in the immediate area. Close Quote
