Summary:
Middle schools in zip code 33027 (Miramar, FL) include two schools—Glades Middle School and Somerset Academy Middle (Miramar Campus)—serving grades 6-8 within the Broward County Public School District, which holds a 3-star rating and ranks in the 67th percentile statewide.
Somerset Academy Middle (Miramar Campus) is the standout school in this area, ranking in the top 10% of all Florida middle schools (90th percentile). It achieves significantly higher academic results than Glades Middle School despite spending $3,366 less per student ($8,472 vs. $11,838) and having a higher student-teacher ratio (20.4:1 vs. 18.4:1). Somerset also boasts a near-perfect chronic absenteeism rate of just 0.5%, compared to Glades' 15.9%, and achieves 100% proficiency in all high-school level End-of-Course exams (Algebra 1, Geometry, Biology 1). In contrast, Glades Middle School is a solid, average performer ranking in the 64th percentile, with average ELA proficiency at 71% and math at 55%—both below Somerset's 85% and 82%, respectively.
A key finding is that Somerset Academy Middle (Miramar Campus) serves a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students (60.88% free/reduced lunch) than Glades Middle School (41.94%), yet still outperforms it in every subject and grade level. Additionally, Glades shows a dramatic drop in 8th-grade math proficiency (25% in 2025-2026), likely because its top math students take advanced courses like Algebra 1, leaving a less-proficient group for the standard exam. Somerset avoids this issue, with 84% of its 8th graders proficient in standard math. Overall, families in this area have a clear choice between a highly efficient, top-performing charter school and a traditional public school that performs near district averages.
