Summary

Somerset High School is a comprehensive public high school serving 1,175 students in grades 9-12 within the Somerset Independent School District (Isd), located in a semi-rural area southwest of San Antonio where over 75% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The school is on a strong upward trajectory, climbing from the 26th percentile statewide to the 50th percentile (3 stars) for the 2025-2026 school year—a 24-percentile-point improvement from its lowest point. This momentum sets it apart from nearby large traditional high schools like Southwest High School and Southwest Legacy High School, which have remained relatively flat. Somerset now outperforms these peers in core academics: 43.75% of students are proficient in Algebra I (compared to 23.04% at Southwest HS) and 72.62% are proficient in Biology (the highest among large area schools). The school’s most exceptional strength is its support for Special Education students, who ranked in the 88th percentile statewide in 2023-2024 and the 73rd percentile in 2024-2025—a rare level of effectiveness. However, U.S. History remains a persistent weakness, with only 53.33% proficient versus the state average of 70.17%, and the graduation rate has stayed below 90% despite academic gains.

An interesting dynamic exists within the district: just 0.18 miles away, the selective Shirleen Zacharias Early Clge Leadership Academy ranks in the 95th-99th percentile (5 stars) with a 100% graduation rate, creating a "two high schools" paradox where the district showcases excellence while Somerset serves a broader, more challenging student body. Nearby magnet schools like Cast Stem High School and Frank L Madla Early College High School also rank high but have small, selective enrollments, meaning Somerset’s improving performance reflects the reality for most local students attending large comprehensive schools.
