Summary

Somerset Academy Wellington K-8 is a public charter school in Wellington, FL, serving 459 students from Kindergarten through 8th grade, with a moderately diverse population where 43.57% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The most defining feature of this school is its extreme performance volatility, which sets it apart from stable, high-performing neighbors like Binks Forest Elementary School and Equestrian Trails Elementary. After earning a 4-star rating in 2022-2023, the school dropped to a 1-star rating in 2023-2024, then rebounded to a 3-star rating for 2025-2026. This "boom-and-bust" cycle is unique among nearby schools. However, the rebound is uneven: while 96% of students achieved proficiency in Algebra 1 and Biology 1 EOC exams—far exceeding district and state averages—the school struggles with a "middle school dip" in math. For example, 8th-grade math proficiency dropped to just 41%, well below the district average of 68% and a stark contrast to the 100% proficiency seen at Western Academy Charter School. Similarly, 8th-grade science proficiency sits at only 27%.

On a positive note, the school has made a dramatic improvement in chronic absenteeism, dropping from 38.3% in 2021-2022 to just 4.8% in 2023-2024—the lowest rate among all nearby schools. Somerset Academy operates with a leaner model, spending less per student ($12,981) and having a higher student-to-teacher ratio (20.4:1) than top-performing peers like Elbridge Gale Elementary School ($15,278, 15.6:1). Compared to the similar Renaissance Charter School At Wellington, Somerset outperforms in elementary math and high school-level courses but lags in middle school ELA. This suggests a strong elementary program that struggles to maintain momentum in middle school, a critical area for parents to consider.
