Summary

Somerset Academy Bethany is a public charter elementary school serving 482 students in grades K-5 in Port St Lucie, Florida. The school is part of the St. Lucie school district, which is ranked 42 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Somerset Academy Bethany stands out for its strong performance in the early elementary grades, outperforming the district and state averages on 3rd and 4th grade ELA tests. However, the school's 5th grade proficiency rates in ELA and Math decline compared to the lower grades, falling below the district and state averages. This suggests the school is effective at laying a solid academic foundation in the early years, but faces challenges in maintaining high achievement as students progress through the upper elementary grades. The school also has higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state average, which may be impacting overall student performance.

Compared to nearby public schools like Floresta Elementary, Allapattah Flats K-8, and Parkway Elementary, Somerset Academy Bethany has mixed results - outperforming in some areas but underperforming in others. This suggests the school's performance is not significantly better or worse than its local peers. As a public charter school, Somerset Academy Bethany may have more flexibility in its curriculum and teaching methods, which could contribute to its stronger performance in the early grades, but the school still faces challenges in maintaining high achievement across all grade levels.
