Summary

Somerset Elementary in Somerset, TX, serves 716 students in grades 1 through 4 and is part of the Somerset Independent School District (Isd), a district that ranks in the top 20% of Texas.

This school stands out for its remarkable transformation and consistent academic success, especially given that 82-87% of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Somerset Elementary ranks in the 88th percentile for serving students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, a stark contrast to nearby schools in the Southwest Independent School District (Isd) like Hidden Cove Steam Academy and Sky Harbour Elementary, which have similar or higher poverty rates but rank in the bottom 20-30% of the state. The school has earned a 4-star rating for the last six years, a significant improvement from a 1-star rating a decade ago. Its math proficiency rates are consistently higher than the state average; for example, 4th-grade math proficiency was 60.69% compared to the state average of 49.28%.

While Somerset Elementary excels in English-language STAAR tests, its performance on Spanish-language versions is weaker, suggesting a potential area for growth in providing rigorous instruction for students still acquiring English. The school also shows a slight decline in overall ranking, from the 86th percentile in 2020-2021 to the 72nd percentile currently, driven by drops in performance for male students and special education students. Despite these challenges, the school achieves its high rankings with lower per-student spending ($9,839) compared to lower-performing neighbors like Sky Harbour Elementary ($12,302), indicating efficient resource use. Its district counterpart, S/Sgt Michael P Barrera Veterans Elementary, also consistently ranks in the top 25-30% of Texas schools, highlighting strong district-level support.
