Summary

Somerset Academy Wellington K-8 is a public charter elementary and middle school located in Wellington, Florida, serving 542 students from kindergarten through 8th grade. The school is part of the Palm Beach County School District, which is ranked 38th out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $8,401 to $10,727 over the past few years, Somerset Academy Wellington K-8 faces significant challenges in terms of student attendance and academic performance. The school has had significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the Palm Beach County and Florida averages, reaching 31.4% in the 2023-2024 school year. Academically, the school underperforms the county and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency, particularly in the upper grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 8th grade ELA proficiency was 47%, compared to 56% for Palm Beach County and 55% for Florida.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as New Horizons Elementary, Royal Palm Beach Elementary, and Binks Forest Elementary, generally perform better than Somerset Academy Wellington K-8 on standardized tests, with higher proficiency rates in ELA, Math, and Science. These nearby schools also have lower chronic absenteeism rates and lower percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a more advantaged student population. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates and improving academic outcomes should be the school's top priorities to better serve its students and community.
