Summary:

Somerset Academy Charter High is a public charter high school located in Pembroke Pines, Florida, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 1,476. As part of the Broward County school district, which is ranked 30th out of 68 districts in Florida, Somerset Academy consistently outperforms the district and state averages in academic performance, graduation rates, and racial diversity.

The school's academic excellence is evident in its strong performance on standardized tests, with 69% and 75% of students proficient or better in 10th and 9th grade FAST English Language Arts, respectively, compared to 54% and 55% for Broward County and 53% for Florida. Additionally, Somerset Academy Charter High has maintained an exceptionally high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 95.7% to 100% over the past five years, significantly higher than the state and district averages. The school's student population is also more racially diverse compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of Hispanic and Asian students.

While Somerset Academy Charter High has experienced fluctuations in chronic absenteeism rates, it has generally maintained lower rates compared to the nearby public high schools, such as Western High School, Charles W. Flanagan High School, and Everglades High School. The school's higher per-student spending compared to the state and district averages may contribute to its academic success, and its close proximity to Somerset Arts Conservatory suggests a potential collaboration or shared resources that may further enhance the educational experience for students.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
